Chapter 625: Artillery Position

After defeating the first wave of Inhuman legions, Zheng He made a decisive decision and ordered the army to land and seize the time to build a fortification between the county seat of Fengshan and the port. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sailors and soldiers are mainly archers, accounting for more than seventy percent. The remaining thirty percent are basically light sword and shield soldiers wearing leather armor. Heavy infantry and cavalry, almost nothing.

In addition, it is a specially formed fire team.

The three major classes are all crispy and not suitable for close combat at all.

Zheng He knew very well that in the face of a strong city, if he attacked it strongly, he could only attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. Even if the sailors who bombarded the city gates with artillery and rushed into the city to fight, they would be stuck in the quagmire of war and could not extricate themselves.

The ideal strategy is to lure the enemy out of the city again and fight outside the city. It is precisely in this way that the fortifications must be built in time. Otherwise, the enemy's cavalry charge can crush the sailors.

Fortunately, the Star Country is a small area, and there are no war horses at all. Cavalry is also a scarce class of troops in the Star Country, and this is especially true for adventure players, which are basically foot combat.

"Hey! Call! Hey! Call! ”

As soon as the battleship landed, hundreds of sailors dismantled the guns from the battleship by means of special carriages, and carried them to the port with great difficulty, and then transported them to the designated artillery positions.

It took an hour to put twenty guns in place.

The entire ocean-going fleet is equipped with more than 300 guns. In addition to giving some to the Central Route Army, the Eastern Route Army still had a hundred artillery pieces left. Zheng He's plan was to transport at least half of the artillery to the artillery position.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty, which is also a bit ridiculous to say, can only be fired flat. Therefore, even if the artillery is pushed into the enemy's walls, it can only hit the walls, and cannot go beyond the walls and shoot directly into the city.

Therefore, in siege warfare, the only role of artillery is to blast through the doorway, or to destroy the wall. And the artillery is bulky and unbearable, it is really a chicken rib existence.

Fortunately, the sailor has Zheng He, a firearm, and knows how to maximize the power of firearms. In positional warfare, the power of artillery is still unquestionable, and it is a defensive weapon.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army was defeated and retreated to the city in embarrassment, Zheng He ordered to set up a perfect fortification with the port as the rear area.

The soldiers took local materials, and bags of sand and soil were built into high ground and earthen walls. At the highest point, there are fifty artillery pieces lined up in turn, which is also the biggest support of the Eastern Route Army.

The entire positional firepower network is divided into four levels according to the firing range.

The first level is the long-range strike composed of archers. The bow has the longest range and the largest killing range. The disadvantage is that once it is broken through by the enemy, the lethality will be greatly reduced.

The second level is the fire network composed of artillery. Breaking through the rain of arrows prepared by the archers, the enemy army will face the bombardment of artillery, which is the strongest in terms of lethality and impact.

The third level is the fire support network composed of the fire pistols. According to the establishment of the sailors, each post is equipped with a fire team; A naval division formation, fully equipped with eight fire guns.

In sports warfare, the firebolt is naturally criticized for its cumbersome operation and unsatisfactory crosshairs. However, relying on the fortifications, the firecrackers hiding behind sandbags can exert great lethality.

The fourth and final level of firepower is a position of sword and shield soldiers. Their mission was to keep the gunners, gunners, and archers safe.

The enemy who breaks through the first three lines of fire will face the end of the sword and shield soldiers.

With a reasonable crossfire network and fortifications to defend, in the era of cold weapons, it is simply a nightmare for the enemy.

Zheng He's use of firearms is indeed the best among the generals, and no one can match it.

Of course, Zheng He's plan has a major premise, that is, the enemy army should take the initiative to attack the position. Otherwise, once the enemy bypasses the position, the so-called firepower network will be nothing more than a decoration.

In other words, the enemy army simply could not shrink, which was also a defeat for Zheng He. Zheng He did not forget that the task of the Eastern Route Army was to involve all the Inhuman Legions. If it's just a confrontation, players in the city can teleport back to the Lion City at any time, and the attack of the mid lane army is a joke at all.

************

Fengshan County.

It should be said that Zheng He's strategy is extremely clever.

The army did not go ashore first, and a wave of artillery bombardment brought great fear to the enemy. Immediately after that, they pursued the victory and successfully established fortifications on the shore.

It is conceivable that if there is no first wave of attacks, the enemy army will rush out and cause sabotage.

What now?

The terrified Inhuman Legion could only stand at the head of the city, watching the enemy busy in front of them, building a fortification at an astonishing speed, and indifferent.

Among the aliens in the Star Country, there are not those who are not afraid of death.

When the artillery was installed in the Eastern Route Army, some players suggested that they should get out of the city in time to stop the enemy army.

The problem is that the lord of Fengshan County has experienced some setbacks and now does not dare to open the city gate no matter what. In his mind, as long as the turtle can't shrink and there are a large number of players to support him, the territory can naturally sit back and relax.

And once you attack, if you make a slight mistake, you may be counterattacked by the enemy.

Under the trade-off, the lord of Fengshan County naturally chose a conservative strategy. The so-called national honor, in the eyes of ordinary players, is naturally relatively pure, and there are not too many interests mixed in it.

But for the lords and the heads of the guilds, there was a trade-off between the two.

The choice of the lord of Fengshan County was not surprising.

……

In this way, the morning passed slowly in the confrontation between the two sides. Throughout the morning, there were teams of players teleporting from the Lion City to support the front line, and the Inhumans approached the 30,000 mark.

In addition to combat professional players, some life professional players in the Star Kingdom have also come to Fengshan County one after another, spontaneously rushing to produce medicines, equipment, arrows and other materials to support the frontline army for free.

In Fengshan County, players can be seen everywhere. Everyone's face is full of a solemnity in the face of a national crisis, as well as the ambition and pride to serve the country.

The two opposing emotions come together to motivate players to move forward without expecting anything in return. Even the players who have already died do not complain at all, but have a faint sense of pride.

Star Kingdom players are still relatively united, and in the face of the national war, no one flinched. The will of the whole country, in the face of the crisis, slowly condensed into a single force and was indestructible.

By noon, the total number of players gathered in Fengshan County had exceeded 50,000. More than half of the adventure players in the Star Kingdom, except for the [Temasek Mercenary Group], have already gathered in Fengshan County.

Such a scale once again gives players confidence.

Seeing the enemy army building fortifications outside the city and showing off their might, the Star Kingdom players couldn't swallow this evil breath. The sound of war in the city is endless, wave after wave.

"This is our territory, it cannot be desecrated, it must be fought!" Someone shouted.

"Fight! War! War! "There are a lot of applicants.

The sound of the battle broke through the sky, and even the position of the Eastern Route Army could be heard clearly.

When Pei Dong came to see this, a trace of solemnity flashed on his face, such an enemy army, the morale is high, but it should not be underestimated. Thinking of the judgment of the Governor, Pei Donglai felt even more ashamed.

Zheng He's face was calm, and he just ordered the whole army to enter a state of first-level alert and be ready for a big battle at any time. It stands to reason that the longer the time drags on, the stronger the fortifications built by Zheng He.

However, this war is by no means a local war, but a battle that has a bearing on the overall situation, and it must be resolved quickly. Therefore, Zheng He hoped that the enemy army would be able to go out of the city as soon as possible to meet the battle.

Thinking of this, Zheng He then ordered the officers and men of the whole army to shout towards the city, take the initiative to provoke the other party, stir the enemy's already sensitive nerves, and strive to start the war as soon as possible.

"Listen to the shrunken turtle above, dare you come out and fight your grandfather!"

"They just got beaten and urinated, how dare they come out to fight." Someone deliberately responded to the harmony.

"Haha~~~"

Unbridled ridicule, unusually harsh.

"Useless soft eggs, don't look at it, let's go back to your mother's belly!"

"These turtle sons are afraid of our cannons, so they don't dare to fight. A bunch of cowards! ”

"Haha~~~"

The soldiers were a group of big and rough people, and when they scolded people, it was quite simple and rude.

When the players of the Chengtou Star Kingdom heard this, they were so angry that they couldn't control their already hot emotions, and they burst out completely like volcanic magma.

At this moment, even if the lord of Fengshan County wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop it. If you really want to forcibly intercept it, I am afraid that the first person to suffer is him, the lord.

Volcanic eruptions are the power of heaven and earth, and cannot be resisted by human beings.

The lord of Fengshan County, who can firmly occupy the throne of the first lord of the Star Country, is naturally not an idle person. Seeing that there is no hope of blocking, I can only follow the trend.

He learned the lesson of the first attack, completely disrupted the 2,000 troops under his command, and organized them into various player brigades, responsible for temporary combat command, so as not to rush forward in a swarm.

For this arrangement of the lord of Fengshan County, the player did not reject it. They know very well that as adventurous players, they are used to killing monsters in small teams, and they are really inexperienced in fighting against such a large army.

The Star Country is small, and there is almost no battle between the lords in the wilderness, which seems very eeriely peaceful. Therefore, a mercenary group similar to the Chinese region, in the Star Country, there is no soil for birth at all.

Compared with the two, the star country in a corner of the country can indeed be regarded as a paradise. The question is, this is the game, it's the wilderness, and where is there any real paradise?!

When the war comes, no fairy tale will exist.

In the midst of the uproar, it took a full hour for the Inhuman Legion to reorganize and reorganize. More than 40,000 Inhuman legions once again drove out of the city gate and rushed towards the enemy position.

At the head of the army were five thousand of the rarest cavalry units.

It is said that it is cavalry, but the mounts are varied. In addition to war horses, there are also wild boars, leopards, tigers, wolves and other wild beasts, or wild beasts.

Such a cavalry can be regarded as unparalleled in ancient times.
