Chapter 1062

Milpur is not a big city for sassanne. Because it is located along the coast, it is not a strategic place. It has never had any war since its establishment. Usually, the city will change its flag only when the rest of the region is occupied, and become one of the many cities under the territory of the next ruling family.

Milpur, which has not experienced war for 227 years, today ushered in the first challenge after the construction of the city, which still comes from the sea.

Lord Busha Boding stood at the head of the city, looked at the dense ships on the distant sea, and then looked at the city completely disordered after a round of shelling. He wanted to ask ang Tian what the Han people would do to fight a city with no strategic value if they didn't fight elsewhere.

Milpur has a population of more than 30000. After chaos, you can see scurrying figures everywhere. In fact, many people follow others when they see others running around. They don't have a clear destination at all.

"Is the Han Army going to land?" Boushah Boding thought he was still a brave man. Knowing that the wall might be hit by shells from Han gunships, he went to the head of the city: "there is no port here. The Han army can only land in small boats."

The firing of the gunboat of the Han Army just now was random. Of course, the purpose was to make milbur chaotic. While shelling, the landing forces began their own beach preparation.

Only a dozen war boats rushed to the beach first. They were responsible for exploring the depth of the beach and setting up an outpost for the friendly troops who were about to land behind.

Huan Wen, who was on the flagship of Linzi, watched the situation on the land with a telescope. He could see that a large group of people poured out of the city gate first, and it was not long before the city gate was closed.

Wang Meng just caught up with the army two days ago. He knew that the battle plan had been implemented when the fleet was going to attack milbur. Otherwise, he did not recommend Huanwen to attack milbur. Even if it was going to attack, he sailed about 130 nautical miles to the north. A coastal city called Jini has higher attack value than milbur.

"Another round of naval gun." Of course, Huan Wen did not speak to Wang Meng, but ordered yuan Qiao, the Vice General of the fleet: "let the artillery bombard the city gate as much as possible."

Yuan Qiao has been a long history of Huan Wen for a long time, but this time, Wang Meng is the long history with the army. He is arranged to become the Deputy General of the expedition fleet.

The Gunners of Linzi ordered with a microphone, and the rest of the gunships relied on flag language.

About five minutes later, nine gunships sounded again. In bursts of roar, smoke suddenly appeared everywhere in milpur in the distance, especially in the direction of the city gate.

The smoke includes gunpowder from shells and more dust and smoke with full strength.

Bronze guns are hardly accurate. It depends on luck whether they can hit the target. When they are especially aimed at the target, they rely on investing more bronze guns and using enough dense bullet drop points to blind cats and dead mice.

For Busha For boding, what happened in front of him was a nightmare. He curled up behind the city wall and felt the constant vibration of the city wall under his feet. What he heard in his ears was a violent crash again and again, and his mind was scared blank.

"The bullet drop points are very dense." Yuan Qiao looked at the smoke area, glanced at the nearby battle boats waiting to form an assault formation, and said, "there are about 800 enemy troops in the city wall. It is impossible to confirm how many defenders there are in this city."

"In the city of Sasan, there are usually more than a thousand defenders." Wang Meng didn't want to be a transparent man: "the fleet invaded two satraps first and landed in Lek before. With the Persians' attention to the big man, the city Lord of milpur will try his best to expand the army. Then, the garrison of the surrounding villages will be concentrated in the city, and the Garrison should not be less than 3000."

Huan Wen is willing to believe Wang Meng's judgment.

It was hard to tell how the city gate was shrouded in thick smoke in the place under constant bombardment. After a burst of grief as if it were sour teeth, a loud and moving collapse appeared.

In the area originally shrouded by smoke, it is suspected that the city wall collapsed, and the thicker smoke shrouded the larger area. In the area not covered by smoke, there were bursts of screams and howls.

LV Bing, who was rowing hard, paused, then rowed harder and shouted, "the city wall is falling!"

A war boat can hold up to 15 people. Usually it carries 13 crew members. It happens to be a full crew.

LV Bing was the length of the boat. He was ordered to explore the beach and decided to move freely after exploring the beach according to his own judgment.

When the soldiers on the same boat heard LV Bing's roar, they immediately understood that everyone's eyes were staring, and their expression became full of expectation.

They are true pioneers. As pioneers, they also have credit for not meeting the enemy, and the greatest credit of pioneers is to become the first to ascend.

The battle boat hit the bottom 120 meters away from the coastline. LV Bing looked down and frowned immediately.

Some seabed tilt is so wonderful. Obviously, people only step on their lower legs, but they are in the sea.

What they encountered was the worst situation of the landing war. For the time being, they could not be sure that the whole beach was the same. If it was the same, it would be very difficult for them to land.

The surrounding war boats hit the bottom on the same line and stopped one after another. The soldiers on the war boat jumped into the sea below the knee, and stepped on the soft mud under the soles of their feet.

"Flag." LV Bing's face was very bad: "we need to build a ferry of at least 100 meters and inform the follow-up troops to carry boards."

It doesn't exist to give up landing if the situation is bad. As the army is performing its mission, let alone encountering an environment that is not suitable for landing, even if there is a sea of knife and fire ahead, it should be overcome.

Not all beaches will be sand. More beaches are mud.

LV Bing and others had to stop after more than ten meters. Every time they took a step, they struggled with the mud under their feet. I don't know what happened. They walked a distance and entered the unknown area. One soldier was directly submerged by the sea, or did the paoze behind them pull it up again.

You don't have to go to the sea, which is a small pool. If you are trapped by mud, it's not so easy to move.

If there is silt under your feet and the water level is high enough, once your head falls under the water, you can't swim if you want to swim. The more you struggle, the more serious you sink. You will also quickly consume the air in your lungs because of activities, and then drown.

"Back!" LV Bing's face was more than bad: "return to the war boat!"

No wonder there is no Persian army blocking the beach, no wonder there is no port here in milpur, and there is not even a small fishing village on the beach. It turns out that the beach is not suitable for activities at all?

Huan Wen on the Linzi was soon reported. He was stunned for a second or two and immediately responded: "only during the high tide is it suitable for landing?"

When the tide rises, the water level at the seaside will rise, and the height of the load on the water surface will naturally rise.

Take another look at the coast of milpur. Before, the water level was low, but a large area was full of sea water. The water level could not be seen far away. A pioneer went to explore to confirm the seabed inclination.

Huan Wen was unfamiliar with this sea area, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of seabed beach. After hesitating for less than two seconds, he ordered: "build a ferry!"

"..." Wang Meng actually wanted to suggest giving up landing, but Huan Wen made a decision first.

Since it is a fleet and is always ready to invade, preparations must be made, such as a large number of wooden boards and necessary wooden stakes.

When encountering a new situation, the fleet commander just moved his mouth, and the executors below were busy.

There was a scene on the sea. Originally, the battle boats were cruising in formation, stopped rowing, and looked at the ships that were putting down the battle boats for some unknown reason.

In the open warships on both sides of the ship, sailors were busy moving a large number of boards and stakes. Soldiers belonging to the engineering corps put their things away and began to paddle to the beach in groups of four.

When they hit the bottom of the war boat, two people in a group began to set up piles.

The specifications of wooden piles are not consistent. The longest is more than three meters and the shortest is only one meter.

When an engineer lifts the wooden pile and inserts it downward, he can feel that the bottom of the wooden pile seems to be held by something, and even there is a downward suction. If the wooden pile is not firmly held, the downward suction will cause the wooden pile to fall out.

LV Bing stood on the battle boat and watched the engineers busy. They set up piles in groups of two. If a three meter long wooden pile is inserted, it can be trapped at least one meter and eight meters. The sinking height of each place is inconsistent. If it is high, it needs to be sawn off, and if it is low, it needs to be nailed to make up the height.

At the same time of pile erection, the engineering soldiers will drop boards to the sea, and the boards thrown into the sea will sink. The project name has a stable focus.

After the wooden piles of one pole are erected, the fixing frame needs to be nailed between the wooden piles to make the force generated between each other fixed, and finally the wood board is nailed on it.

"Brother." LV Bing asked an engineer what the chief was: "can you give me some boards?"

Chen Hao nodded and pointed to the nearby battle boat: "do you want to go ashore first?"

LV Bing saw that the engineers could walk safely and freely by dropping the boards. He thought that if the boards were laid all the way to the land, even if the boards were under the water, there would be a way that would not sink under his feet. The difference is not that the passage of the ferry is above the water.

The others who also got the landing order began to learn from Lu Bing's behavior.

The smoke at the gate of milpur has dispersed. You can see that the wall section on this side has collapsed. Not only the gap at the gate, but also the collapsed wall section has become a mound with a gap of more than 20 meters wide.

Lord Busha Boding was just a section of the collapsed city wall. If he was not killed by shells, he must have been buried after the collapse. Looking at the appearance of this area, we can think that more than ten minutes have passed since the collapse. There is no need to save it. It is definitely dead.

After the smoke dispersed, the people in the city began to flow outward from the gap. During this period, they had to push and trample. After some people fell down, they felt that their bodies were diaphragmatic. They reached out and touched either their hands or their feet, but they could not see their bodies. Obviously, people were buried below.

After the collapse of the city walls and towers, the relevant personnel of milpur did not go to rescue the city Lord who may still be alive. They all thought of leaving the city quickly.

When senior officials start running, they will be followed by middle-level officials. After grass-roots officials find that both senior and middle-level officials begin to escape, they must join the escape, and then the city basically loses control.

Once the officials begin to run, even the most stupid people will know that the city will be doomed, and then there will be a big wave of escape, which is basically doomed.

"More than 100 people have begun to land on their own." Wang Meng looked at Huan Wen with a firm face and asked, "do you want the follow-up troops to keep up?"

Wang Meng is talking about LV Bing and others. These people have built a channel for wading and landing. Although there will be some twists and turns in the process, it is definitely much faster than building a ferry.

"..." Huan Wen knew that Wang Meng had gone to Leke sea before coming to meet him. He also knew that Wang Meng had a special understanding of Liu Ming. He was unhappy about this: "yes!"

Huan Wen had no opinion on Wang Meng himself, but he thought that Wang Meng had no experience in fighting in the large corps and did not dare to show rejection of Wang Meng's appointment as commander of the expedition fleet by the center (the son of heaven), but if there was no other opinion, it was absolutely false.

Lu Bing and others, who kept laying boards and were always close to the beach, took about half an hour to set foot on thick land.

After they landed, they did not rush to the city of milpur immediately. Instead, they explored the beach and reported the situation of the beach in flag language.

The seabed is full of silt, and the beach head is also full of mud. If there is anything else, it is some rotten wood and withered grass. There is no sand or stone.

It was confirmed that there were landing troops behind. They began to push towards the city and went to a place with a wide field of vision. It was seen that there were people fleeing in the wilderness.

"There is no obstruction." LV Bing looked at the team with a shy face and encouraged Zhou Zhuang: "it seems that there is no counterattack. Let's attack the city?"

Zhou Zhuang was not Lu Bing's direct superior, but according to the battlefield rules of the Han Army, a local area was either people with high official rank or people with high title. Generally, they became battlefield commanders.

Under the leadership of Zhou Zhuang, hundreds of people slowly approached the city. When they came to the periphery, they met the fleeing crowd and did not catch up. When they approached the edge of the city, they soon found the gap in the city wall. They saw that their alien people seemed to hesitate in running away and kneeling down to surrender, some continued to escape, and more kneeling on the ground.

They were divided into two teams, one in and the other out.

LV Bing was assigned to the team entering the city. They entered the city and went up to the wall. They chose to set up a Han flag on the wall that did not collapse near the gap.

At the moment when the Han flag was flying at the head of the city, the Han Army on the sea cheered. In the city, whether Persians or not, as long as they were not Han, they would kneel on their knees!
