Chapter 919: Look at the joke
Praetorian cavalry rampaged through the crowd like a pack of hungry wolves leaping among the flocks. The crowd exploded completely, rushing out in desperation.
The Great Xia army faced a severe test.
Di Qing frowned, unwilling to wait any longer, turned to Lu Bu and said, "Please also ask the general to take action to get rid of this scourge." Di Qing looked at the Somali Janissaries galloping through the crowd, his eyes full of disgust.
Those who do not take the lives of the people seriously are not worthy of being soldiers.
"Look at me."
Lu Bu couldn't look at it for a long time, so he rode his horse to the front of the formation, bending his bow and arrows.
Whether it is in the romance or in "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Lu Bu", it is recorded that Lu Bu's "Yuanmen Shooting Halberd" has been recorded, which shows that Lu Bu's archery skills in the Three Kingdoms at that time were definitely at the top level.
In the chaotic crowd, the Somali Praetorian Cavalry was like fireflies in the night, not to mention how eye-catching, Lu Bu shot an arrow seemingly randomly, and with a "whoosh" he hit one person and fell off the horse.
Then came the "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "Counting arrows was fired, and there were no missed shots.
When other skilled archers saw this, they stretched out their bows and arrows and stood in place to snipe the enemy. Every arrow fired, it hit one person, and there was never a person who was injured by mistake, which was really shocking.
Dragon Blood Battle Riding Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, at a critical juncture, how dare you easily sacrifice ugliness without a few brushes.
The Somali Praetorian Guards numbered only a little more than 100 people, and they were all wiped out in less than 10 minutes. In order to prevent the war horses from rampage, they were all shot on the spot.
I have to say that Lu Bu's hand is really beautiful.
However, the crowd has become a frightened bird, since the city gate, the changes are continuous, how strong the hearts of the common people are, at this time like headless flies, scurrying around.
When Di Qing saw it, he had a headache.
"What the hell is this playing?" Di Qing scolded her mother unconsciously.
No matter how the people collided, they couldn't pose any substantial threat to the Great Xia Army, and when it came to life and death, Di Qing did not hesitate to wave the butcher's knife.
Even those Inhumans who sneak up in the rear are just a disease of mustard, and they are not a problem.
Why did the Somali royal family come here with such great effort and disregard for the people?
Is it just to make the Great Xia Army feel bad?!
Soon, the Somali king gave the answer.
The Somali coalition army, which has been standing still, has finally made a big move.
Near noon, the south gate of the wooden bone capital and the north gate were opened at the same time, and the 80,000 Praetorian Guards, 50,000 territorial troops, and more than 90,000 inhuman troops, who had already been ready to go, rushed out of the city gate and killed the two wings of the Great Xia army.
There were no more than 20,000 people on each side of the two wings of Great Xia, and in the face of an enemy five or six times larger, they were immediately at a disadvantage. Although the dragon-blooded war cavalry was elite, the infantry division of the Somali Corps was not angry, and it lasted less than an hour before it broke up.
The Somali Corps had just been reorganized, and it was good to play a tailwind, but once they were in adversity, the sergeants lacked blood and toughness, and soon showed fatigue, and the front was scattered by the enemy.
The Dragonblood Warriors were outnumbered and fell into the encirclement of the enemy army at once.
At this time, the true purpose of the Somali king was revealed, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the people in the city to go out of the city, so that the Chinese army in Daxia fell into a sea of people and tied the hands and feet of the army.
In this way, the Somali coalition forces were free to clean up the two wings of Great Xia.
The two wings of the Great Xia Army were raided by the Somali coalition forces, and the Chinese army was trapped again.
This made the war correspondents who stayed outside the city excited, and they sent the front-line war report back to China as soon as possible.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
In such a way, Somalia has made headlines in the global media.
The strength of Daxia has made many people unhappy, and this time it was frustrated, and there are not a few people who watch Daxia's jokes.
"Great Xia is desperate and desperate, and it is destined to end no good!"
"The arrogant will fall!"
"Great Xia? Great Xia will fall! ”
Similar sarcasm is endless.
Lords, adventurers, enemies of Great Xia, jealous people, and all kinds of people jumped out one by one, humiliating Great Xia with all their might, and even in China, there was no shortage of yin and yang weird ridiculers.
It's really rare to be able to see Daxia's jokes.
It seemed that in an instant, Great Xia fell from the high overlord to the altar.
Caesar, the lord of the Mediterranean, even openly declared that the reckless military force of Great Xia had caused turmoil in the Mediterranean and its surrounding areas, and today's defeat was retribution.
************
Shanhai City, Summer Palace.
In the imperial study, the Minister of Military Affairs Du Ruhui, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Huo Quai, and the senior cabinet scholar Jia Xu were all on the list, and the discussion was naturally the war in Somalia.
Although the outside world is full of ridicule and lively, the inside of the imperial study is very quiet, and there is no panic at all.
Those who speak cool words are just some short-sighted people.
With the background of the Great Xia Dynasty, even if the Di Qing tribe was defeated this time, Somalia would not be able to reverse the fate of being destroyed. Because Great Xia has an army, if one expedition can't work, then twice.
"Wechen suggested that the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard be immediately dispatched to aid Somalia." It was Du Ruhui who spoke.
Ouyang Shuo rubbed his forehead and said, "Friendship City is thousands of miles away from the Wood Bone Capital, even with the marching speed of the Praetorian Guard, it will be difficult to arrive in four days, I am afraid that far water will not be able to quench the thirst of the near." ”
Du Ruhui and others were silent, this is the disadvantage of the expedition overseas.
"Don't care about the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the court still has to trust Di Qing and trust the front-line soldiers." Ouyang Shuo's eyes were leisurely and his attitude was firm, "The Somali coalition army's attack this time has taken our army by surprise, but it is no longer a turtle with a shrunken head. As the saying goes: crisis is opportunity, it depends on how Di Qing operates. ”
Ouyang Shuocai didn't believe that a Somali strategy could defeat a generation of famous generals Di Qing; He didn't believe that with a force like the Somali coalition army, he could really wipe out an ace force like the Dragonblood War Cavalry.
"The king is shengming!" Jia Xu did not hide his admiration, and said with a smile: "The Somali coalition forces seem to have the upper hand, but this advantage is only superficial, and it is not enough to determine the outcome of the war. ”
Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Wen He must have a clever plan?" ”
Du Ruhui and Huo Qubing also looked at Jia Xu, this senior scholar is a first-class strategist, since he came to the dynasty, he has made many strange schemes, which is really convincing.
Jia Xu was also not humble, and said: "The Somali royal family has calculated thousands of calculations, but one existence has been missed. ”
"You mean the Atlantic Fleet?" Du Ruhui has already reacted.
Jia Xu nodded and said, "The Atlantic Fleet is equipped with a musket team and sword and shield soldiers, and they can go ashore to help in the battle and relieve the siege of the left and right wings." What's more, the fleet is equipped with flying squadrons, as well as marines. ”
"At the moment, the Somali coalition is pouring out, and the inside of the royal city is very empty and the defense is weak. The wooden bones are bound to the sea, and the king only needs to order Admiral Alvaro to send marines to infiltrate the city underwater, and then let the flying squadron cover and cooperate in the air to enter the palace, destroy the stone monument, and complete the occupation of the royal city. ”
"That way, the big picture is settled."
When Du Ruhui and the others listened, their eyes lit up, and their mood relaxed.
"It's a brilliant plan." Du Ruhui was full of admiration, "Take down the wooden bones and bundles, and the Somali aliens will be teleported away immediately, and the arms of the Somali coalition army will be broken." What's more, if we take the royal city, we will be able to teleport the Praetorian Guards directly to the battlefield with the help of the royal city teleportation array, and the Somali coalition army will no longer be able to make waves. ”
Jia Xu's eyes are still so vicious.
Ouyang Shuo also smiled and said, "Since the formation of the Marine Corps, they also need a tough battle to prove their combat effectiveness, so they will act according to this plan." ”
"No!"
"Commander Huo, let the Rock Army be on standby at any time." Ouyang Shuo commanded.
There are enough cavalry on the battlefield in Somalia, and if you really want to stabilize the situation, it is more appropriate to have the Rock Army.
"Understood!"
Huo Quzhi nodded.
…………
Shortly after the discussion on this side ended, Álvaro received an operational order from the Military Aircraft Department.
Álvaro was worried about the current battle situation, and after reading the order, his expression was relieved, and he had a bottom in his heart, and said loudly: "Someone! ”
"Raise the account!"
"No!"
The war was urgent, and Álvaro quickly laid out the battle plan.
In less than half an hour, the Atlantic Fleet quietly docked, and groups of musketeers and sword and shield men went ashore, and under the leadership of the generals, assembled on the shore.
There was a fierce battle outside the city, but no one noticed the anomaly of the Atlantic Fleet.
During the last round of naval restructuring, Ouyang Shuo noticed the problem of weak melee combat capabilities of the navy. Today, the navy has drastically reduced the number of archers to sword and shield soldiers equipped with crossbows.
As the Spanish god of war, Álvaro is not only good at naval warfare, but also no stranger to land warfare. He knew that the sailors were not well suited to land warfare, so he abandoned the adventurous practice of supporting both flanks at the same time, and instead concentrated his forces in one place, giving priority to supporting the troops in the south.
I have to say that this small detail reflects Álvaro's military qualities.
The commander of the southern troops is the veteran Ma Teng, who has rich experience and is already stronger than the north. With the support of the fleet, we will be able to get out of trouble and counter the enemy.
As long as the road is broken, the Somali coalition army is equivalent to a fifty percent defeat.
In addition, Álvaro also thought that if the planned operation of the Navy Special Operations Team was frustrated, the rescue of the Lower Horse Teng Department could also be remedied in time, and take advantage of the situation to enter the city and complete the unfinished business of the Marine Corps.
On the other hand, if you choose to support the north, it is very likely that people will not come out, but they will trap themselves. By then, you'll lose everything, and you'll never have a chance to turn the tables around.
Being able to make such a clear judgment on such a tense battlefield is a test of a general's level.
…………
Just when the Atlantic Fleet landed, the marines had already set off first, quietly sneaking into the city along the estuary of the river that flowed through the city of Mugudushu, and headed straight for the palace.
In order to defeat the two wings of Bactria in order to defeat the two wings of Bactria the Somali king was almost desperate, and there were no guards in the city except for the two thousand Janissaries stationed in the royal palace.
At the same time, the squadron took off and targeted the bombing at the palace.
