Chapter 396 What am I still doing by taking the risk of dispatching the Flying Bird Camp?
No one knows what advice Cao Jie and Zhang Gan received from Su Lu. They only know that after the two returned, they began to frantically train the crossbow artillerymen of the ballista battalion.
The two of them formulated detailed daily drills and gunnery rules, and trained the crossbow artillerymen as rigorously as the craftsmen polishing ordnance in the Ordnance Department.
After receiving Su Lu's military order, the Ordnance Department put aside the production of flying birds and ordnance, and concentrated on making ballistas and crossbows for the training of the ballista battalion.
However, the Ordnance Department did not gain everything. At least after the training of the crossbow battalion every day, the prey killed by the crossbows or shocked to death could always get a basketful.
The officers and craftsmen of the Ordnance Department were full of food every day, and when they came and went, everyone started to gossip.
Cao Jie must be interested in the person in charge, Mr. Wang, otherwise he would not send prey every day.
Zhang Gan is still interested in Mr. Wang, the person in charge. I heard that all the people he is looking for to propose marriage are coming to his door.
Su Yun was very angry after hearing such comments, and the gossip was severely punished, and the prey was cut off by Feiniao Camp from then on.
However, Feiniao camp was also busy with training, so Su Yun just scolded a few people and settled the matter.
Half a month later, Su Lu appeared at the joint training camp of Feiniao Battalion and Ballista Battalion, and asked Zhang Gan, who was personally operating the cannon.
"How about, what is the success rate of attacks outside visual range?"
Zhang Gan turned around and saw that it was Su Lu. He immediately stood up and saluted Su Lu with clasped fists.
"Shan Zhang, the success rate outside the visual range is low. Now it can only be 20 to 3 out of 10. If the flying bird soldiers in the school are masters, the success rate can be improved a little. To 30 to 40 out of 10, this is already the limit.
Already."
Su Lu nodded. Three or four out of ten shots were pretty good. According to his own assumptions, with this kind of ballistae, it would be good if one shot out of ten could hit the target. After all, the ballistae was not a real artillery, so it would be greatly affected.
"Yes, let's do it this time. Starting tomorrow, we will cooperate with the Asuka Battalion to move the front line forward and prepare for a big battle."
Cao Jie, who was standing next to him, was overjoyed when he heard this: "Captain, are the enemies in ambush? Our army has already made their dumplings?"
Su Lu patted Cao Jie on the shoulder and said nothing.
Su Yun, who was next to him, snorted coldly: "Why, I have only been a camp captain for a few days, and I already want to participate in the important matter of being the commander-in-chief."
"Research carefully on how to maximize the use of the Asuka soldiers' school shooting. This is the best way."
Cao Jie chuckled and didn't refute, just asked Su Lu.
"Captain, tomorrow we will advance to Wangjiang Ridge and set up a ballista position at the foot of Wangjiang Ridge Mountain. If the enemy is completely wiped out, where should our next position be?"
Su Lu glanced at Cao Jie in astonishment. This guy, before he even fought, was already thinking about chasing the enemy after winning.
"Don't worry about victory, think about defeat first. Cao Jie, you are an unqualified battalion captain. Your tactics class was in vain. Everything you learned was fed to pigs."
Su Yun reprimanded Cao Jie mercilessly. Su Yun was the leader of the eldest sister when he was in the martial arts hall. He couldn't hold his head up against the group of boys who were under Dong Ling's command. Now that they no longer have the status of classmates, reprimanding them is even more similar to
It’s like training your third grandson.
Su Lu waved his hand: "This battle must be won. We have been preparing for such a long time. In order to form a situation of great defeat and not retreat, the front army has killed and injured many sergeants. The left and right wings have been lying in wait for more than half a month. They have been sleeping in the open air and eating.
After all the suffering.”
"Our army will win this battle."
The surrounding crossbowmen and bird soldiers raised their fists and shouted loudly.
"Must win"
"Must win"
Su Lu reached out and made a move. Ma Ping brought the defense map and put it on the ballista stand. Su Lu pointed at the defense map and said.
"We are at this location now. The ambush location is here and Wangjiang Ridge is here. If nothing else happens, the ambush location will be between these two locations. It should be here to completely annihilate the British and Special coalition forces."
"After wiping out all the coalition forces, only the logistics and some officers are left in the camp of the Qi people and the Yingte coalition forces. If you want to extend your ballistae here, the position must be set up here."
Su Lu pointed at the map and analyzed it.
Cao Jie and Zhang Gan quickly took out a booklet and wrote down what Su Lu said. They even drew the positions on the defense map.
Su Yun acted a bit slowly, but she was more direct. When Su Lu turned around, he snatched away the defense map. After thinking about what he felt was lacking, he unfolded the defense map again. After Cao Jie and Zhang Gan hoped,
In his eyes, he marked the location between Wangjiang Ridge and Wanghai Village.
Then he put away the defense map and handed it to Han Yun behind him.
"Put it away. Once the crossbow artillery has destroyed the coalition forces, we, the Bird Battalion, will rush in and try to take the credit for annihilating the senior officials of the coalition forces."
Han Yun smiled and put away the defense map: "Your Highness, don't worry, Han Yun promises to complete the mission."
After Su Lu inspected the military camp, he returned to the Chinese military camp.
According to lurking details, after defeating the former army six or seven times in a row, the British and Special Alliance forces finally lost their vigilance towards the former army. Apart from their tenacity, the former army of the Han army had no merit at all.
The coalition forces are ready for tomorrow's battle and want to take down the front army in one fell swoop.
Su Lu had been busy and it was completely dark before he finished arranging the tasks. The armies that had been prepared in advance set out overnight to prepare for the battle.
The next day, when Su Lu woke up, the war had already started.
The coalition forces defeated the former army like a ruthless force, and those who were left chased after the former army, hoping to chop off the heads of the former soldiers.
Su Lu put on his boots and was drinking soup when news from the front came back.
"The coalition forces have entered the encirclement, and General Li Kun has sent troops to cut off the coalition forces' return."
Lu Zhan took the battle report and reported it to Su Lu.
Su Lu nodded: "Send the order, the Bird Battalion will dispatch immediately to intercept the Yingte Bird Battalion that may be dispatched. Remember, you cannot cross the battle line, otherwise military law will be imposed."
"Send the order, the crossbow and artillery troops are ready to fire, prepare to attack, completely wipe out this coalition force, and let the Yingte people see how powerful we are."
The messenger left quickly.
Battle reports came in from the outside like flowing water. The staff generals in the camp were busy, giving instructions on various military battle reports, and steadily controlling the movements of the army.
The crossbow artillerymen completely wiped out the crossbowmen and crossbow artillery battalion heads that followed the coalition forces, and the British rear army finally found that their retreat was cut off.
The Flying Bird Battalion ran into the Yingte Flying Bird Battalion who came after hearing the news. After a fierce battle, the Yingte people abandoned more than ten flying birds. The flying birds retreated in embarrassment, and the Han army completed the encirclement of the coalition forces.
Su Yun was wearing a bird soldier's standard soft hat. When he entered the camp, he saw Li Ling also entering the camp.
The two of them arrived at the Zhongjun tent one after another and saw the busy Su Lu.
Li Ling was the first to speak: "Brother, Feiniao Camp had a battle with the Yingte people and won."
Li Ling also said next to him, "Commander Commander, I, Dingxiang Guards, have made preparations to launch an attack tonight. We also ask Her Royal Highness the Princess's Bird Battalion to be dispatched to coordinate with the ambush Bird Battalion and destroy the Bird Battalion."
Barracks."
Su Lu glanced at Li Ling: "Didn't you hear what the princess just said? The Yingte Bird Camp has been defeated. Why did I let Su Yun take the risk to advance?"
