Chapter 180: Operation Blitzkrieg
On June 24 of the first year of Gaia, the second anti-bandit operation in Shanhai County finally came to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with the first time, the area of the second bandit suppression was tripled, and the harvest was naturally more abundant. A total of 5,400 gold coins were seized, 5,500 people were captured, and a large amount of grain, grass, materials and weapons and equipment were seized.
The most important thing is that this time the bandits were lucky enough to get a technical manual.
["Ladder Manufacturing Technology Manual"]: After use, automatically master the ladder manufacturing technology.
The last time the rogue attacked the city, Ouyang Shuo could be regarded as seeing the power of the cloud ladder, and this kind of siege weapon naturally made him salivate. The "Cloud Ladder Manufacturing Technology Manual" was handed over to the War Readiness Department by Ouyang Shuo, and the War Readiness Department was responsible for organizing craftsmen to study and strive to manufacture a finished product as soon as possible.
Ouyang Shuo didn't forget that there was still a group of bandits waiting for him to clean up in Zhennan Pass. The appearance of the cloud ladder is undoubtedly a godsend, otherwise, there is really no other good way to do that Xiongguan.
According to Shi Wansui, this time to crack down on bandits, I encountered a hard bone. It was a high-level rogue battalion, with more than 3,000 rogues, including more than 500 elite rogues and 1,500 ordinary combat rogues.
Fortunately, the mixed brigade that has been formed for more than a month has been formed for more than a month, and after many times of suppressing bandits, it can be regarded as a hundred battles, and has accumulated very rich experience in convection and warfare.
In this battle alone, the mixed brigade lost more than 100 people. You must know that in the two large-scale anti-bandit operations before and after, the mixed brigade only lost a total of more than 300 people, which shows the intensity of the battle at that time.
In fact, by the time the county seat arrived, the Liukou were basically unable to pose much of a threat to the territory. Because the scale of the Rogue is limited, the high-level Rogue camp is already the limit. In the wilderness, the objects that can be plundered are already scarce, there are more monks and less meat, and a large number of rogues gather together, and they can only go hungry.
In the face of a well-equipped regular army like the Mixed Brigade, the Liukou battalion was almost powerless to fight back. It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo did not participate in the bandit suppression operation after being promoted to the county seat, and directly handed it over to Shi Wansui to deal with.
Of the 5,500 people captured by the bandits, in addition to selecting 1,000 to join the reserves, the remaining 4,500 people were all sent to Friendship Town by Ouyang Shuo to help Friendship Town be promoted to a first-class county seat. Of the three affiliated territories, Friendship Town has the slowest development, and Ouyang Shuo really can't bear it, and he doesn't want to favor one over the other.
Zhou Haichen was appointed as the Friendship County Commander. Zhou Haichen is naturally grateful for the trust of adults, and the three affiliated territories, as far as he does nothing, he naturally feels guilty in his heart, and feels that he has failed the trust of adults.
Ouyang Shuo didn't say anything, just asked him to continue to work diligently.
At the same time, Ouyang Shuo ordered Lei Xun, who was in charge of collecting information on the nomadic tribes, to speed up the pace of intelligence collection. At the same time, a letter was sent to Sun Tengjiao, who had just been promoted to the second battalion of the pioneer battalion, asking him to step up the training of new recruits and ensure that the newly formed cavalry battalion could come in handy at any time.
In the just-concluded anti-bandit operation, Ouyang Shuo specially asked Sun Tengjiao to participate with the cavalry battalion, which was to consciously temper the team and strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the average rank of a battalion of non-commissioned officers must reach the fifth rank to be considered qualified. Otherwise, below the fifth order, in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, it was the new barracks.
At the same time, in order to enhance the strength of the second battalion of the pioneer battalion, after a month of investigation, Ouyang Shuo appointed the second leader of the previous Liukou siege black cavalry as the deputy battalion of the second battalion.
Although it is said that when the Liukou attacked the city, the black cavalry led a thousand cavalry, but now it is only a deputy battalion, and it seems that it has been reduced by two levels. But for a demoted general, it can already be regarded as preferential treatment.
Of course, on the other hand, it is also because of Sun Tengjiao's ability, compared to the black horse, it is not far behind. Coupled with his qualifications, he naturally gave priority to the promotion of Sun Tengjiao.
Besides, according to the pace of army expansion in Shanhai County, as long as the black cavalry performs well and is loyal, and at the same time makes military achievements for Shanhai County, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to a battalion.
The 5,400 gold coins seized by the bandits, plus the 7,600 gold coins handed over by the Wolf Mountain Mine and the Beidui Salt Field in the first half of June, totaled 13,000 gold coins. Among them, a total of 2,500 gold coins were allocated to the financial subsidies of the three subsidiary territories, 2,000 gold coins were spent on the purchase of architectural drawings for the basic buildings of the second-level county seats, 1,250 gold coins were spent on the transfer of the third battalion of the North Sea Fleet and the second cavalry battalion of the north battalion of the north of the city, and 250 gold coins were spent to replenish the damaged soldiers of the mixed brigade, and there were just 7,000 gold coins left.
Ouyang Shuo did not deal with the remaining 7,000 gold coins immediately, but planned to wait until two days later, after the income of the second half of June was counted, and then make a unified arrangement.
In the afternoon, Shanhai County Chamber.
After the bandit suppression ended, Ouyang Shuo officially began to use his knife against the territory of the surrounding players.
According to the deployment of the Military Affairs Administration, this operation is codenamed "Lightning", which is to quickly pull out a total of eight player territories on the east and west sides with lightning speed.
For this reason, Shanhai County did not hesitate to use a large army.
Operation Lightning is divided into two ways, east and west, and they go hand in hand and act together.
On the East Road, there are only three player territories, which are responsible for the Shanhai County County Defense Battalion, the Xishui County County Defense Battalion, the Youyi County County Defense Battalion and the Second Battalion of the Pioneer Battalion, and Ge Hongliang, the director of military affairs, is the commander of the East Route Army.
The four battalions of the Eastern Route Army are not thorns, and Ge Hongliang will be handy in commanding. In addition, Ouyang Shuo also wanted to take this opportunity to sharpen the ability of coordinated combat between the city defense battalions and the ability to march over long distances.
With the development trend of Shanhai County, passive defense is not Ouyang Shuo's goal, active attack is his style. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not want the city defense camp to nest in the city, slowly deteriorate, and lose combat effectiveness, so he had to pull it out from time to time and put it into actual combat in order to maintain morale and blood.
On the West Road, there are five player territories, which are under the full responsibility of the Mixed Brigade, and Shi Wansui is the commander of the West Route Army.
Because according to the feedback of the Military Intelligence Department, the target territory does not have a decent city wall, therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not dispatch the Shenji Battalion this time.
Shanhai County's whole army was dispatched this time, and the battle was bigger than the suppression of bandits, but the target of the attack was a third-level village that was not even as good as the high-level rogue camp, so naturally there were other considerations.
Seeking speed is the core of this lightning operation.
Strive to capture eight territories at the same time and catch the opponent off guard.
Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo specially explained that after the army arrived at the opponent's village, don't entangle, just rush in, take the opponent's lord's mansion, and complete the occupation task.
After the player's territory is occupied, all players in the territory will be automatically teleported to the nearby system royal city, and players in the Lianzhou Basin will naturally be teleported to Dali.
If the player dies during the capture, he will also be resurrected in the reincarnation hall of the system city.
Therefore, in order to settle the battle neatly, the eastern and western armies will set out early tomorrow morning, march to the edge of the territory, and set up camp. In the early morning of the next day, he broke into the opponent's territory in one fell swoop and caught them off guard. At that time, many players were probably not online yet, and they didn't even know who the enemy was.
This is exactly what Ouyang Shuo wants to achieve.
If these eight territories were known to have been destroyed by Shanhai County, then they would further make the other lords of the Lianzhou Basin hug each other when they announced it on the forum, which was not the result that Ouyang Shuo wanted to see.
Only by not figuring out who the enemy is, will the lord players be suspicious of each other, and will not point all the fingers at Shanhai County. Ouyang Shuo was raising Gu, but he didn't want the Gu worms to hug each other.
Raising Gu is to let Gu worms fight each other, and finally leave the strongest one.
With their strategy in place, the battalions are returning to their barracks to prepare supplies for tomorrow.
On June 25, the army set out.
The mixed brigade set out from the camp in the west of the city and headed for the westernmost part of the territory. The three city defense battalions and the second battalion of the pioneer battalion set out from their respective camps, first rushed to meet in Lushui County, and then drove together to the easternmost part of the territory.
June 26, 5 a.m.
The strategy of the Eastern Route Army, Ge Hongliang, was that the three city defense battalions were each responsible for capturing a third-level village, and the cavalry battalion was a mobile force, in the center.
In the Western Route Army, Shi Wansui did not assign tasks by battalion.
The battalions of the mixed brigade are all professional troops, so the archer battalion must not be left alone. To this end, Shi Wansui dismantled the five battalions and reorganized them into squadrons, forming five mixed battalions similar to the city defense battalion, including two squadrons of sword and shield men, one squadron of cavalry, one squadron of spearmen, and one squadron of archers.
The defenders of the third-level villages are only more than 100 people, and at most there are only 200 people. In the face of a battalion of troops, without reliable fortifications, coupled with a surprise attack, there is really no reason not to be successful.
At half past five in the morning, eight battalions with a total of 4,000 soldiers on the east and west roads, like eight sharp sabers, quickly plunged into the enemy's hinterland like precise scalpels under the careful guidance of the Military Intelligence Department.
The third-level village has an arrow tower and a stone guard tower on the periphery. The attacking troops, albeit in the early morning, had nothing to hide. At this time, the battalions did not think about hiding their whereabouts.
The wooden gate of the village was directly smashed open by the mountain barbarian sword and shield soldiers who took the lead, and the follow-up troops followed closely and went straight to the enemy's lord's mansion.
At this time, the territory that reacted quickly enough, the defenders had already rushed out of the barracks, ready to intercept. When they meet on a narrow road, the strong wins. The scattered defenders, unable to stop the march of the army, were torn to shreds.
The villagers who were alarmed saw that their sons and daughters were defeated so quickly, and they didn't dare to step forward. I can only watch as the other party rushes into the lord's mansion and completes the occupation of the territory.
When the territory is occupied, the NPC natives naturally become captives. (To be continued.) )
