Chapter 470 Second Battalion Commander, step back!
"You are a bold Chu bandit who dares to attack the lower state and county under the command of the Shuhou of my Han Dynasty. Please retreat quickly and apologize, otherwise it will be too late to regret!" Wu Jing shouted at Qutang Pass.
When Huang Zhong heard this, his face turned dark and he said: "Our troops from the Chu Heavenly Kingdom have arrived, and it is really stupid to resist stubbornly in a corner! This certain person is... Huang Zhong, the commander of the Xinye 1st Division, a common name for thieves!"
Wu Jing didn't understand what "Commander of the First Division of Xinye" was, but he guessed that it might be an official position.
"Haha, as expected, Jingchu is a remote and remote place, and there are so many messy official positions... division commander? What is it? Hahaha... Listen, I am the guard general of Qutang Pass, and the general of Yufu Zhonglang is Wu Jing!"
"Yizhou Xiaoxiao, do you dare to come down and fight?" Huang Zhong shouted.
At this time, Wei Yan fired the engine from the side and came out of the formation and said: "Sir Huang... Commander, there is no way to kill a chicken with a bull's knife. I, the deputy commander..."
Before Wei Yan could finish speaking, a young general who was even more stunned than him, who was even younger than him, sputtered out his engine and said: "Wouldn't it be a loss of status for these two officers to fight against these thieves? At the end... cough,
Liao Hua, commander of the second battalion of the second regiment, invites you to fight!"
Liao Hua, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, joined the Chu army shortly after the founding of the Chu State and passed the Naxian Hall martial arts test.
At this time, neither the 1st Xinye Division nor the 1st Wancheng Division had formal brigades, and both directly administered seven or eight regiments.
"How can you dare to fight to the death? So... I won't help you for the time being! If you are brave, you can come up and fight, hahaha..." Wu Jing smiled heartily.
Go down?
Do you think I'm stupid?
However, at this moment, Huang Zhong directly put on armor and took out a cannon. Even the second battalion commander Liao Hua didn't even need to do anything, and directly blasted Wu Jing with a cannon!
The artillery has not yet been exposed, and... with the topography of the Three Gorges, unless a plank road along the mountain is completely built, it will be difficult to transport even field artillery, let alone catapults.
However, the Qi cannon loaded by Huang Zhong himself is not subject to this restriction, and Huang Zhong's original heavy crossbow seems to be a cannon type. Anyway, it has been loaded into the armor, so there is no need to worry about being seen...
Wu Jing also didn't expect that at this distance, he could actually hit him?
When Huang Zhong put on armor and pointed the dark muzzle at himself, Wu Jing's heart trembled, but his inner logic calmed him down.
Then... he was completely calm, and as peaceful as water - his entire upper body was evenly spread out on the joint, and he was indistinguishable from a bodyguard behind him.
Before loading, the Qi Cannon has no explosive shells and no explosion effect, but a pure impact. After loading, the same is true, but the impact is much greater.
Directly killed Wu Jing!
The garrison who closed the gate was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening - General? What about a general as big as ours? He was obviously so far beyond the safe distance...
At the same time, Wei Yan also shouted: "Come to the group first! Follow me!"
I saw Wei Yan personally leading the second regiment directly under him, nicknamed "Xian Deng". At this time, following Wei Yan, people with shields on their arms, grappling hooks, and ropes rushed towards Qutang Pass.
Huang Zhong, on the other hand, led the "Fierce Bow Regiment" directly under him, and directly launched the combat skill "Fierce Bow". One regiment fired out a rain of arrows, and several other regiments and positions were also in their respective regiments.
Commander, under the step-by-step command of the company commander, shoot with bows and crossbows.
Unfortunately, because it shoots from low to high, and a safe range must be left, there is no room for repeating crossbows with shorter ranges.
However, the "firepower" was enough. At the critical moment, the general had been defeated and he had no intention of fighting the defenders, so he was directly pushed back by a wave of arrows.
In the absence of effective instructions and incentives, the stragglers and defenders simply surrendered the Guanqiang wall to others - it was also because they were too negligent in the past and did not stockpile rolling stones and tung oil in the pass. The money was also used to enrich their own pockets, making the grassroots generals even more
No fighting spirit.
Be the first to join the group and seize the opportunity!
Because the opposing defenders retreated without any morale, almost only Qutang Pass itself was playing the role of limiting the armor's engine.
Even the newly promoted gilded warriors - even if they can't fly directly to the critical moment, they can still jump up directly after borrowing a few times. Wei Yan's advance to the group has specifically strengthened the proportion of gilded warriors at the grassroots level.
of.
The grassroots generals charging forward can also boost the morale of Ji Zao soldiers. I saw a group of Ji Zao soldiers who were the first to board the regiment. They threw their grappling hooks on the top of the wall, locked them and quickly climbed up along the wall...
Climbing, of course, is also specially intensively trained!
Before the effect of Huang Zhong's round of Fierce Bow disappeared, the Xiansheng group had already climbed the wall in full.
The arrow rain from the "Fierce Bow Regiment" behind them stopped - after all, Wei Yan and his soldiers were already on the wall, so any more shots would easily cause accidental damage!
As for other regiments, they have already stopped long-range cover...
The defenders... had lost all morale long ago. Only Wei Yan's first ascending regiment quickly occupied the city wall, and the troops behind gradually climbed up along the ropes left by the first ascending regiment.
"Liu Zhang is ignorant, Yizhou is smoky, and the army and the people are resentful. Now that our army from Chu has arrived, the people are all rejoicing. Why didn't you surrender as soon as possible?" Wei Yan shouted at the critical moment.
The camp commanders, company commanders, and squad leaders below all spread the word that the King of Chu was benevolent and that the Chu State would not kill prisoners, and quickly quelled the last small resistance.
After all, they are the defenders of Qutang Pass - even if Yizhou Prefecture is among the people, no matter how black and white the picture is, the Chu Kingdom is black, and Qutang Pass is the dividing line between Yizhou and Chu Kingdom, how can the generals not make their own judgment?
When facing the Chu army, they dared to surrender...
As for being loyal to the Lord of Shu?
Throughout the entire cold weapon era, except for a very small number of elites or the army united by special feelings, there is no "loyalty" at the middle level and below. Their mission is to follow the generals who lead them.
After the city is broken, everyone makes a fortune together. If the general wants to fight to the death, let's see if there is a chance to withdraw. The supervising team is watching closely. If the general wants to defect to the enemy... then follow suit!
Even if you want to refuse to surrender to the enemy, you must at least be a lieutenant general or a general with his own troops to be qualified to resist.
In history, after modern times, countries began to talk to ordinary soldiers one after another. Only an army that has formed a cohesion and a sense of family and country can be regarded as a modern army at its core. If it still stops at robbing money, food, and women
For the purpose of cohesion, any weapon used is "backward".
In this regard, Chu State undoubtedly achieved modernization earlier than technology.
And because Chu State is so far ahead, there is no need to emphasize the concept of family and country. After all, it is Chu State's task to cycle between expansion, development, and expansion.
There is no need to worry about foreign enemies for the time being, nor does it want to complete expansion through slavery or plunder, so the Chu State will not specifically emphasize the concept of "Chu Land".
The core of the Chu Army, apart from the sense of glory, has always been Bai Xue... ah no! It is Chu Xue - only this, Bai Tu must emphasize, do not use his own surname!
Based on "the benevolent love others" and the continuous improvement of Chu culture, it emphasizes the identity of the Chu army as the savior of the oppressed all over the world, and this is also the core military soul.
In contrast, the vulnerability of the Shu army was not only reflected in its combat effectiveness.
Not only the ordinary Shu army, but even Wu Jing himself was not very reliable. If he had not been killed by a cannon when he came up, he would probably have taken the lead in descending now...
