The weather in mid-June was getting hotter and hotter, just like a war. The King of Yan's Army and the Corpse Collector's Army fought against each other for seven days. Not many people were killed on either side, but all the infantry of the King of Yan's Army were in place, and the battle line was on track.
Steady progress towards the river.
"Don't rob, please, please leave some food for us..."
The whole village was crying and howling. The corpse bandits had been operating in Runzhou for nearly a month. They had never harassed the people. They bought food and wine without any counter-offering. However, King Yan's army was even worse than the bandits.
The villagers robbed the pigs and sheep to eat, leaving a mess wherever they passed.
"Hurry up! We must complete the positioning before dark and recruit more people..."
King Yan shouted loudly on his horse, turning a blind eye to the crying villagers on the roadside. The huge artillery team brought a larger logistics team, which required more manpower to transport. The consumption of people eating horses and chewing was also amazing. They
I already feel like I can't take it anymore.
"Don't be anxious. The more critical the moment, the more stable you must be..."
Wei Wuya slowly rode over and said: "There is a problem with the supply line of the corpse bandits. It may be that the output of the arsenal cannot keep up. The firepower has become weaker and weaker in the past two days. The main force has withdrawn to the defense line, but Jiangning City
There is also a problem with Yangzhou!"
"oh?"
King Yan was surprised and asked: "What happened? Didn't Fei Ying say that the corpse bandits only besieged but not attacked? With Yangzhou's military strength, there shouldn't be anything wrong?"
"Only two of the flying eagles have been slaughtered. How can they dare to come close for investigation? There is no reputation at all..."
Wei Wuya said: "I sent people to risk their lives to cross the river to investigate, and 20,000 Huwei troops made a surprise attack on Yangzhou City. Three days ago, they came to Jiangning City. The Jiangning prefect ordered the artillery fire. The Huwei troops retreated ten miles and guarded the dock and fortress.
Dao, both Jinling and Jiangning have become isolated cities!"
"It seems that we have to chew on the bones of the corpse bandit..."
King Yan shook his head casually, but Wei Wuya said: "The Huwei army is mediocre in combat, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jinling City. As long as we push the front line in front of them, they will definitely divide their forces and attack, and the corpse bandits will be attacked from both sides."
Chaos!"
"I hope so. Anyway, I never expect the Sun Shooting Cult..."
King Yan twisted his mouth in disdain, but with the help of a large number of civilians, the front line advanced very quickly. In the evening of the same day, it reached the designated position. Standing on the front line mountain, you can see Jinling City in the distance, and Jinling City was finally ablaze.
Out of the wolf smoke.
"Damn it! Are these corpse bandits all rats? They are digging trenches everywhere..."
The generals of King Yan's army climbed up the mountain and looked into the distance with their eyesight. They saw that the vast plain was dug like a maze, with criss-crossing trenches everywhere.
Not big.
"The Corpse Bandit's cavalry is in the northeast and cannot join the infantry. They can only choose to hold on..."
Bai Lirong stepped forward and said: "Their field artillery does not have a far range as ours, and the ammunition is almost running out. Let's send another wave of slave soldiers to waste their ammunition, and then use the cannon to bombard them. Finally, the cavalry rushes forward to break the formation.
The infantry will follow and cover you up, and that's it!"
"To put it lightly, will the cavalry rush over and get stabbed? A horse can be stabbed in the belly in a ditch..."
A veteran frowned and said: "You have to jump into the ditch to kill. You can't use long weapons, so you can only rely on sword and shield hands to fill them in with life. Let's bombard them with big artillery all night first, and wait until they have no fighting spirit."
, if the infantry rushes into the formation in the early morning, they will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop!"
"That makes sense! The corpse bandits are all cloth armor and can't defeat our heavy armored infantry. Even if you exchange one for three, it's still a good deal. It's best to let the Jinling artillery come out of the city and blast them together..."
A group of generals are strategizing on the mountain top
, but the position chosen by the corpse collection army was terrible. The cannons of Jinling City could not be blasted. If they wanted to send troops, they had to cross two hills. It was equivalent to lining up to be bombed. They could only rely on the King of Yan's army to attack them from the front and use the cannon range to suppress them.
other side.
Night falls soon...
The camp of King Yan's army was brightly lit, and the army was constantly mobilizing. Although the corpse collection army was under light control, there was still no shortage of bows, crossbows and small cannons. Several feint attacks were bombed back, and there was no intention of giving in. Both sides were quite determined to fight for life and death.
taste.
"Dong dong dong..."
The artillery of King Yan's army finally opened fire. It was surprisingly dark tonight, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and only clusters of fire could be seen continuously exploding. However, the four hundred large iron cannons were very powerful, and they were divided into three sides to bombard the position alternately.
Plowed over and over again.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Jinling City finally fired artillery to cheer up. Although they couldn't blast the position, they could still create psychological pressure on the Corpse Collection Army. If the Corpse Collection Army did not want to fight to the end, they had no choice but to retreat to the river and take a boat. The separated cavalrymen were even more
It is isolated and helpless.
"Bang bang bang..."
Waves of illumination bombs continued to shoot into the sky. As expected, the corpse collection army had no intention of escaping. They were still guarding against the enemy's sneak attacks at night. The King of Yan's army did not waste expensive ammunition. They fought sporadically and rested for a while. It was purely
Disturbing the enemy's nerves.
"Hurry up! Spread the charge, don't concentrate..."
At midnight!
With the help of the continuously exploding fire, tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry rushed toward the position. They all blackened their faces and armor, and walked quickly with iron and wooden shields. They only started to speed up when they were within the enemy's range.
, but their artillery fire also suddenly became fierce.
"Boom~"
A large row of people suddenly disappeared, and there was a long pit on the ground. The pit was full of spikes smeared with shit. The Yan King's army screamed in anger and jumped over the two-meter-wide pit. As a result,
Before they could run far, another group of people fell into the pit.
"His grandma! Set up a springboard and rush over to me..."
The young generals jumped up and cursed in anger. They only thought about the advancement of "technology" and forgot about the pitfalls of primitive war. Moreover, the pitfalls were not all one after another, but there were many large and small holes. If they were not careful, they would be trapped.
Will fall into the hole.
"We're here, rush to me..."
The covering artillery fire suddenly stopped. King Yan's army took the initiative to fire flares, and 20,000 light-armored swordsmen and shieldmen rushed over. However, there were still many logs in front of the formation to block the horses, and there were spiked wires pulled between the blocking horses. I had never seen this before.
The people holding the wire rushed forward one after another.
"Ah! There are thorns and thorns, don't push me..."
The infantrymen screamed when they were stabbed. Those who realized something was wrong quickly swung their swords to chop, but the iron thorns were pulled out in circles, and they bounced back after being slashed with the knife. Moreover, the entire position was arranged in several rows.
He jumped over his companion's body and was immediately entangled in iron thorns.
"shoot!"
The corpse collectors suddenly showed their heads, lying on the trench to throw crossbows, and the mortars were fired in large swaths, desperately blasting among the enemy troops, but the Yan army's artillery did not dare to fire.
He blew up his own people.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Mortars kept exploding among the enemy troops, and groups of infantry continued to explode into the sky. But at this time, it was impossible to retreat. The supervising team was leading the sword from behind. The road to victory was often paved with human lives.
The 30,000 infantrymen had no choice but to rush forward.
"Iron cavalry! Dispersed charge..."
The King of Yan's army finally sent out the cavalry, and the mortars also had a minimum range. They could not be exploded until they were within 600 steps. The illumination bombs were free of charge, shooting into the sky in large sheets, but no one could
Unexpectedly
Then it rained.
"Haha~ God help me! God is helping me. The corpse bandits are gone..."
King Yan led a group of people to the top of the mountain in person, and opened his arms excitedly to welcome the heavy rain. Once the heavy rain came, the artillery was useless. It would be good to ensure that the ammunition did not get wet. Don't even think about firing the artillery. The generals also took advantage of the opportunity.
More infantry were sent out.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Sudden!
A large piece of artillery shells flew horizontally and exploded in the far right-wing troops. The explosion caused the cavalry troops to flip over, and the sound of the artillery on the position became more fierce. It suddenly increased more than ten times, as if they had been waiting.
This heavy rain.
"What's going on? Why can they still fire, and where do the long-range cannons come from..."
King Yan turned around in horror, and Wei Wuya's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "They didn't use fuze-pointed cannons, they made flash caps. With flash caps, you won't be afraid of the rain. This
Help the bastard to keep waiting for the rain!"
"Your Majesty! It's not good..."
A general rushed up and said urgently: "The Corpse Bandits cavalry have been holding back, but in fact they are covering their long-range artillery. They are attacking our right wing. We can't even see the artillery position. Our
The iron cannon can no longer fire!"
"These bastards, let the entire right wing attack and capture their artillery positions..."
King Yan shouted angrily, but when he turned his head and saw that the battle line on the position had actually lengthened again, the infantry collecting the corpses had all run away along the trenches, and the artillery had been moved to the farthest foot of the mountain, and they were arrogantly suppressing
The cannon was carried to the ground.
"Not good! There are mines in the trenches..."
Wei Wuya suddenly exclaimed, and the swordsmen and shieldmen jumped into the trench one after another, but they were blown up to the sky one after another before they could run very far. Moreover, the trenches were not connected at all. The Corpse Collection Army dug out a large maze and ran along the trench.
It can only run in circles.
"No rush! Launch at intervals..."
The corpse-collecting artillery soldiers had already set up a canopy and were firing shells in a leisurely manner. The mortars were fine as long as they were not soaked in water, and they were specially designed to hit trenches. They had already calculated the best bombing point, and one
A dozen people can be taken away by the shells.
"Hurry up and cover the gunpowder so it won't get exposed to the rain..."
The two artillery positions were also very busy. The rain was so heavy and sudden that the gun barrels were full of rainwater. But before they could finish cleaning up, a series of artillery shells suddenly hit them, sending them up all at once.
Western sky.
"Ugh~"
After a burst of earth-shaking explosions, half of the night sky was illuminated. The corpse collectors let out a huge cheer. Their large mortars did not have a far range, but when it rained they moved the guns forward.
It came straight to the soul.
"Monster clan! It's up to you, all come to me..."
Wei Wuya gave the order fiercely. A tall and thin young general nodded, turned around and jumped down the mountain with a roar. Thousands of infantry immediately roared in unison, tearing their armor and clothes apart and turning into terrifying beasts.
The tall monster.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Thousands of werewolves, fox monsters, pig-headed monsters, etc., rushed out like a group of barbarians, faster than ordinary horses, and the soldiers of King Yan's army were horrified to discover that King Yan had really colluded.
The demon is not a rumor spread by the enemy at all.
"No! The monster is coming. Concentrate your firepower..."
The corpse collection army also used binoculars to discover the monster soldiers, but the power of the mortars was still too low. Even if the monsters were blown away, they could get up again with a flick of their heads and still rush towards the position vigorously...
