Is there a just war in this world?
Exist!
This is indisputable. For example, when a powerful empire attacks its neighbors, their resistance is just. However, today's war is unjust. Neither the defensive Gaojia army nor the attacking black flag army is a just party.
There are good and evil in people, as well as war.
But it is also undeniable that seven or eight out of ten wars since ancient times have nothing to do with justice, just for interests. In particular, none of the initiators of the war seems to be to maintain world peace. How miserable the walls of Liyin city are and how strong the cheers in the black flag arms gun camp are, these are the components of the war.
No one wants to be the wailing man.
But war is fair. The strong laugh and the weak cry. Naturally, there are many examples of the weak defeating the strong in the world, but from ancient times to now, how many such examples?
How many of them are fabricated?
Xiahou Baichuan ordered to cross the river, and the auxiliary soldiers of the black flag army began to build the crossing bridge. Although there are artillery battalions to absolutely suppress the city wall, it is impossible for the enemy to have no counterattack. The archers of the garrison in Liyin city began to fight back. The massive loss of the crossbow turned their main weapon into feather arrows.
I have to say that Yan Zeng is really a general.
Facing such a tragic situation, his soldiers can still organize a counterattack in the shortest time. Of course, the number of soldiers involved in the counterattack is really limited. The feather arrow flew down from the wall and landed on the river. The auxiliary soldiers shouted and went down. His companion reached out and grabbed his ankle to keep him from being washed away by the current. The blood at the arrow kept flowing out, and a red line soon appeared in the river.
Every auxiliary soldier was tied with ropes. When people on the shore saw someone hit by an arrow, they immediately rescued him. Fang Xie has been instilling an idea into every black flag soldier for so many years, whether war soldier or auxiliary soldier... Try not to give up any companion on the battlefield.
Even a body.
"Ask Andrew if the number of guns can be increased!"
Seeing that the auxiliary soldiers had lost a lot, Xia Hou Baichuan shouted to the soldiers. The soldiers rushed out and ran to the front to ask, and then got a very positive answer... No!
Andrew's original words are: "The LORD said that the use of artillery is not in full swing. If the number of artillery in our team is exposed too early, it will definitely not be a good thing for the future war situation. If the Lord may order to increase the number of artillery to suppress the defensive counterattack on the city wall, but as the person commanding the artillery battalion, I will never increase the artillery without authorization!"
Such an answer made Xiahou Baichuan irrefutable. He could only order the auxiliary soldiers to carry shields.
Finally, the first ferry bridge was built across the river.
"Cross the river!"
With the order, the black flag soldiers carrying the ladder began to rush to the other side of the river. The soldiers who have been in battle for a long time know that the most lethal part of the enemy's feather arrow is the part where they run under the city wall after crossing the river. At this time, they can't move forward in an organic way and form a shield array. The only thing they can rely on is how fast they run and how fast they can rely on their two legs. Really Under the city wall, the enemy's archers could not aim at it.
Teams of black flag soldiers rushed to the city wall with cloud ladders. Everyone didn't want to repeat what they did today the next day. Each repetition represented that countless people would stay in this land forever.
Poof
A black flag soldier took an arrow in his chest. The armor breaking cone tore open the leather armor and went straight into his heart. He only had time to make a dull hum. Then he fell down. He fell to the ground and the ladder fell down. The soldiers behind shouted and ran forward quickly to take his place.
What is training?
The simplest manifestation is that the soldiers know very well what right decisions to make on the battlefield.
The first ferry bridge was built and the second ferry bridge was built... An hour later, at least a dozen ferry bridges were across the river. If you look down from the sky, the dozen black lines were like ants moving. There were a steady stream of black flag soldiers rushing towards Liyin city. With the number reaching the scale, the proportion of losses decreased.
The subsequent shield men began to cover the feather arrows for other soldiers, and the artillery battalion began to change shells. After cleaning up the crossbow on the city wall, the soldiers of the artillery battalion replaced the previously used penetrating shells with flowering shells. The shrapnel of this kind of shell spread in a wider range and was more lethal to people.
"Pour fire oil, don't let the black flag army close to the wall!"
A dusty faced yanzeng shouted to the city wall, and the reserve team had already moved ahead of schedule to start pouring the fire oil under the wall, then threw the torch down. The flames rose instantly, and the temperature made the soldiers on the wall dare not to play their heads out. Though this made the guards too uncomfortable, they were prepared to separate the black flag soldiers from the walls on the walls. 。
"Put out the fire!"
Seeing the fire rising, the general of the auxiliary barracks immediately commanded other auxiliary soldiers to carry the earth across the river and rush forward. Although the danger of death faced by auxiliary soldiers is much smaller than that of War soldiers, after all, auxiliary soldiers are not required to work so hard in every war. However, once they rush to the front line, their death speed is much faster than that of War soldiers. Because their leather armor is not as fast as that of War soldiers Thick.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The archer commander on the city wall has broken his voice. His hoarse voice is like a broken wind box. Every time he pulls, the sound is particularly uncomfortable.
The speed of living people turning into corpses is so fast that even the God of death has no time to count the number.
……
……
"Put the nail racket!"
With a hoarse cry, the nail rackets that could still be used on the wall were put down heavily. Although most of the nails were destroyed in the bombing, the few remaining nails still posed a death threat to the soldiers of the black flag army. The nail rackets are all one foot long wolf teeth nails. After falling from the city wall, the wolf teeth nails can easily break people's hardest skull under the action of gravity.
When the nail racket was put down and pulled up again, there was even a body hanging.
Xiahou Baichuan frowned. The news from Xiaoqi school said that Yan Zeng was a very capable general, and Gao Kaitai's team was not as many ordinary people as other forces. You know, Gao Kaitai rebelled with pure soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty!
Although Gao Kaitai has been recruiting and expanding troops in recent years, he has a large number of excellent generals in the original Sui army. After several years of fighting and training, the combat effectiveness of the recruits is not weak!
To tell the truth, this is the team that the black flag army meets that can be compared with the black flag Army soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness. Only the troops ravaged by the infantry of the great Sui Dynasty really understand how powerful the infantry of the great Sui Dynasty are. Dongchu, Nanyan, including Mengyuan. Of course, it should also include Nanchen and Beizheng who have been destroyed by the great Sui Dynasty.
You know, in the great Sui Dynasty, Li Guo pointed out that when fighting with Mongolian Yuan wolves in the northwest, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Yuan cavalry left more than 100000 bodies and their myth of winning every battle with unparalleled formation changes and flawless cooperation among various arms.
Some people have been doubting that the infantry led by Yang Jian killed two or three times the number of enemies in the face of twice his own wolf cavalry. If they really saw the cooperation changes and formation of the elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, such doubt will be reduced a lot. If I have seen the great Sui founding soldiers who fought from the south to the north and conquered Firefox city and Chang'an City, I'm afraid no one will doubt it.
At the beginning of Mengyuan wolf riding, no one thought that the cavalry would lose so miserably to the infantry in the field battle on the plain. The great Sui Dynasty created such a myth!
Today, two real elite are at war.
"Let the enemy feel desperate..."
Xiahou Baichuan watched his team's attack blocked, and the large siege equipment couldn't go up for a moment. He couldn't help thinking of Fang Xie's explanation before he left.
"In the face of a really elite army, the best way to defeat them is not to attack them physically, because they have learned to persevere, so they become tough. Only by letting them despair and lose their fighting spirit, can an elite army be defeated as quickly as possible. Just like when Li Yuanshan led the Mongolian Yuan wolf into the pass in the northwest battlefield, they despair and let that The 700000 elite of the great Sui Dynasty disappeared like ice and snow. "
Fang Xie's words echoed in the mind of Xiahou Baichuan.
"The reason why I try my best to build the artillery battalion is naturally to make the war more smooth in the future, but the fundamental reason is to reduce the number of deaths of the black flag Army soldiers. The powerful weapons will make the soldiers less likely to die in the war. What you should remember is that no matter how expensive the weapons are, they can't compare with human lives."
Suddenly thought of this sentence, Xiahou Baichuan's eyes changed.
He hurried his horse and rushed directly to the artillery camp. He saw Andrew commanding the artillery camp to fire. He jumped off his horse and strode to Andrew: "Andrew! I'm going to withdraw my attack team now, but your artillery can't stop!"
"Why!"
Andrew was stunned, and then shouted, "your troops are no longer attacking. How can I continue to waste artillery? General Xia Hou, do you know how high the cost of this shell is!"
"All I know is that shells are not worth human life!"
Xiahou Baichuan roared, "the artillery battalion must not stop, so that the enemy's defense will completely collapse. I want to make no complete city brick on the city wall to stand on, so that the enemy soldiers will soften their legs when they want to go to the city!"
Andrew was startled by the roar of the summer Marquis, and subconsciously stepped back.
He turned to look at the wall and looked at the face of Xiahou Baichuan: "OK, but you must contact the brigade as soon as possible. The number of shells I brought is not enough to flatten the wall!"
"No need."
Xiahou Baichuan suddenly found something and pointed to the side of the city wall of Liyin City: "maybe we deviated from the direction of attack at the beginning."
Andrew looked in the direction of Xiahou Baichuan's fingers, stunned and smiled: "yes, we should fire over there!"
Liyin City
It was built according to the mountain.
The connection between the city wall and the cliff stone wall is the weakest, and there are many boulders protruding on the stone wall.
"I'll take ten guns and blow a hole from there!"
