Chapter 149: Defense Zone
On the forum, the details of the defensive battle of Bangalore Town have been revealed by players.
The town of Bangalore also has a tall city wall, but the difference is that their city wall is made of loess tamping, but a layer of green bricks is built on the outside, unlike Shanhai Town, which is all made of stone.
The town of Bangalore participated in the defense of 2,000 men. The number of rogues attacking was about 6,200, more than three times the number of the defending troops.
Unlike Shanhai Town, there are only three city gates. Bangalore Town is a standard four-way gate, so the defensive task is much heavier than Shanhai Town. The rogue is also cunning, not only surround three queyi, but also adopt a two-sided feint, but in fact specialize in one tactic.
In the morning, the rogues only launched a tentative attack, and the intensity of the attack was equal on three sides. The lord of Bangalore, Divara, was confused by the tactics of the rogues, and took advantage of the lunch break to readjust the defensive deployment of the city wall, and arranged the defensive forces on the three sides very evenly.
During the attack in the afternoon, the murderous intentions of the rogue were gradually revealed. On the surface, the number of rogues attacking from three sides was the same as in the morning, and there were still more than 2,000 people on one side. In fact, taking advantage of the midday truce, the rogues had already reorganized their troops. Assign ordinary rogues to the east and west; Gather all the elite rogues together and attack the north gate with all your might.
As a result, the North Gate was immediately in an emergency. By the time Devara discovered the Rogue's plot, all three sides had already been handed over. If the deployment of the army is adjusted in a hurry, it will give the other side an opportunity to take advantage of it. In desperation, Devara could only grit his teeth and insist, hoping that the north gate could hold out until the east and west sides were lifted, and then rush to reinforcements.
Unfortunately, after an afternoon of fierce fighting, under the strong attack of the elite rogues, the north gate of Bangalore town was not defended after all. As soon as the north gate broke, under the chain reaction, the entire town of Bangalore was immediately in an emergency. After a short time, it was captured by the rogues.
After the capture of the town of Bangalore, the rogues did not carry out a massacre, but ransacked the town and then left. This is also the result of the deliberate arrangement of the system, leaving room for the failed territory.
Strictly speaking, Devara's command can be regarded as decent, and he did not make any big mistakes, but unfortunately he was still unable to match the cunning of the rogues after all, and unfortunately lost.
With this failure, it will take at least half a month for the town of Bangalore to recover.
Failed twice in a row, sounding the alarm for all lord players, and no territory dared to apply to the system for promotion with a fluke mentality.
After learning of the defeat of Bangalore Town, Di Chen's heart sank, and he already had a bad premonition, his Handan Town, in terms of defensive strength, was inferior to Bangalore Town, how could he have the confidence to win. For his battle of will this time, Di Chen already regretted it a little. It's a pity that there is no turning back from the bow. Emperor Chen could only take his Handan Town and go all the way to the black.
After the defeat of Bangalore, all eyes of the world were focused on Liberty Town, the American Quarter. Jack Dawson is very confident, and threatens that Liberty Town will never repeat the mistakes of Bangalore Town, and will definitely win the honor of the first county in the world.
In order to show his confidence, Jack also announced that a special person will be arranged tomorrow to broadcast the details of the defense of Liberty Town on the forum, so all players are invited to watch.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, the Americans were still so confident. He admired Jack's self-confidence a little, as a lord, he needed this kind of self-sacrificing momentum.
It seems that tomorrow is really going to be a good show. Since Jack is so confident, he must really have a killer feature. This American is not a fool.
Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that in his previous life, the honor of the first county in the world was won by Freedom Town. It's just that in time, it should be a little later.
Maybe it was the birth of Shanhai Town that put a lot of pressure on Jack and them. After learning that there was a campaign mission in China, Jack did not hesitate to apply to the system for promotion.
Jack knew very well that once the battle was over, Shanhai Town would definitely apply to the system for promotion as soon as possible. After losing the honor of the first town in the world, Jack didn't want to give up the honor of the first county in the world again.
……
On May 19, Ouyang Shuo logged in to the game on time.
Early in the morning, the cavalry battalion stationed in Friendship Town and the city defense battalion of Yushui Town left their camps one after another and entered the base camp. Although 2,000 troops were stationed at once, the high-ranking military camps in the city did not seem crowded at all. When the military camp in the city was originally planned, it was built according to the scale of the future Praetorian Guard.
After the crossing of the river by the troops of the two battalions, the crossings of the three towns immediately went into action. All the boats at the ferry were received in the city to prevent them from being found by the rogues and used to cross the river.
In this way, unless the rogues detected the city defense of Shanhai Town in advance, knew that Shanhai Town had a moat, and had to bring a large number of ships without bothering. Otherwise, the risk of a large-scale siege of the north and east gates of Shanhai Town by the rogues is basically eliminated.
Taking advantage of the fact that the battalions were already in place, Ouyang Shuo convened several generals and held a brief military meeting, mainly to coordinate the distribution of the defense areas of the battalions.
After consultations, it was finally decided that the Shanhai Town City Defense Battalion was responsible for the West Gate Defense Area, the four squadrons of the Lushui Town City Defense Battalion except for the cavalry squadron were responsible for the North Gate Defense Area, and the 500 reserve troops were responsible for the East Gate Defense Area.
The cavalry battalion, plus the cavalry squadron of the city defense battalion in Shuishui Town, was deployed at the West Gate as a mobile force, ready to attack at any time.
As for the two infantry battalions of the big battalion in the west of the city, the first infantry battalion plus the two squadrons of the second infantry battalion were deployed on the west gate city wall to assist the defense of the Shanhai Town city defense battalion. The remaining three squadrons of the 2nd Infantry Battalion were deployed at the North Gate City Wall to assist the defense of the City Defense Battalion of Shui Town.
It can be seen that the West Gate will be the key defensive direction, and 1,800 people will be deployed. Moreover, the big killing weapons, the three-bow, eight-ox bed crossbow and the fierce fire oil cabinet are all arranged at the west gate.
Comparatively speaking, the defense of the north gate was a little weaker, and only 700 men were deployed.
One is that the space outside the north gate is limited, and the other is that it has the protection of the moat, even if the Liukou wants to play any trick and want to cross the moat, it will be more than worth the loss, so Ouyang Shuo is very relieved.
In addition, the first battalion of the North Sea Fleet will also leave the wharf of Shanhai Town early tomorrow morning and go to the north of the Youyi River to assist in the defense of the North Gate. If the Rogues wanted to attack by water, then they would have made a mistake, and the North Sea Fleet would have dealt them a head-on blow.
As for the east side, I believe that the Liukou will not be so stupid, go around such a big circle, and run to the east gate to attack. If that is the case, I believe that the 500 reservists deployed can also hold out until reinforcements arrive. Moreover, the periphery of the east gate is completely divided in half by the moat, which is a dead place, which is really not suitable for the siege troops.
The only weakness of the East Gate was the fear that foreign enemies would attack from the sea, pass through the canyon, and then land for battle. Even a little more perverted, using the situation of landing with small warships, directly following the moat, driving the warships to the foot of the eastern city wall, and then using the cover of the warships to counter the defending troops with bows and arrows.
This scenario is almost unlikely, the 2nd Battalion of the North Sea Fleet deployed in Beihai Town is not an ornament, they firmly hold the entrance to the sea, and if they want to pass through the canyon, they must break through the defense line of the North Sea Fleet.
At this time, it can be seen that Ouyang Shuo carefully chose the benefits of the location for building the village. Backed by the mountains, there are no worries at all, and the defense problem to the south of Shanhai Town is completely solved. A large river, encircling the north and east sides of Shanhai Town, is almost equivalent to removing the threat from the east and greatly weakening the threat from the north.
It is precisely because of such a unique advantage that Shanhai Town can deploy heavy troops at the West Gate.
Beginning at 10 a.m., the residents of the settlements outside the city, under the leadership of Li Zheng, were arranged by the officials of the Administration Bureau. All the residents were temporarily relocated to the residential areas of the city, distributed to each family, and the residents of the city were responsible for their food and lodging. The Financial Services Department (DSF) provides a special financial subsidy to each resident.
This arrangement prevents these immigrants from setting up tents in the city, affecting the security of the city and making it more difficult for the security department to manage. The second is to facilitate the monitoring of immigrants and prevent them from being mixed with immigrants.
Yesterday afternoon, the Administration Department had already made it clear from door to door that the residents of the city had the responsibility of surveillance, and that if they found anything abnormal, they should immediately report to the Department of Public Security. Those who conceal and fail to report will be transferred to the Criminal Division for punishment.
Ouyang Shuo gave full play to the strength of the masses to prevent the infiltration of the rogue to the greatest extent.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the last residents of the settlement entered the city. The Military Affairs Administration immediately ordered that the gates of the major cities be blocked, and all personnel were only allowed to enter but not leave.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Beihai Town sent the income of the Beidu Salt Field in the first half of May.
In late April, a large number of captives of the Tempest Tribe were sent to the North Twilight Salt Works, which had expanded to a maximum of 10,000 acres. Therefore, in the first half of the month alone, the North Dusk Salt Field achieved a net profit of 3,600 gold coins, which is equivalent to the profit of the whole month of April.
One hundred cavalry and two hundred infantry were transferred, costing 250 gold.
Ouyang Shuo intercepted 2,000 gold coins, and the remaining 1,350 gold coins were injected into the Four Seas Money Village by him. With the expansion of the territory and the opening of branches in the three subsidiary territories, the reserves of the Four Seas Money Bank have been somewhat stretched. If it weren't for the Financial Services Bureau's support funds to circulate through the Four Seas Money Bank, I am afraid it would have been impossible to sustain itself long ago.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the good news finally came from the weapon workshop, and after two days and one night of overtime, the weapon workshop finally built two fierce fire oil tanks. These two fierce fire oil tanks were arranged by Ouyang Shuo at the west gate. (To be continued.) )
