Chapter Ninety-Five: The Bagpipes III
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were casualties on the offensive and defensive lines surrounding the town of Helsin.
In Anne's diary, it's Disgusting May, Annoying June, and Muddy July.
However, the dog-like look of the battle really makes people want to scold their mother! Except for Anne's occasional suspicion that she had suddenly become a "master tactician" like Willy Yang, neither Twilight nor Nan Satoka wanted to talk to anyone, because talking too much would doubt their own intelligence.
The initial bit of passion was really no, no.
Who would have thought? In this continent, which claims to have a history of several million years, and in this war-torn place where "wars occur every year, and there are especially many this year," the quality of war is so low that it is outrageous? Not to mention compared with ancient China, I'm afraid that even the village-level wars of the Fusang Warring States have a fight.
According to Lu Yuan, "This is a pig-to-pig stupid sport, and it is really embarrassing for us to be involved in the middle." Of course, he was also hindsight, and he hadn't thought of it before......
On the first day, a large-scale attack and defense began, and the Imperial Army arrived at the city with a forest of spears...... Then General Tulius was shocked to find that the main wall and the wooden skirt wall facing east of the town of Helgen were actually four meters high! And the standard spear they brought was only two meters and a half ...... That's embarrassing.
Your walls don't come according to the rules of the Empire?! In the past, the tactic of standing at the root of the city and stabbing people was not used, and the imperial army could only retreat.
However, Helgen was not a "clever plan" and deliberately made the walls so as to restrain the Imperial Assassination tactics - the height of the walls of Helgen was the same as the Imperial standard, the only difference was that the walls of Helgen were built on a stream in the past, and that stream was later diverted......
But even so, the soldiers of Helgen still suffered more than 100 casualties in the bow and arrow shooting! If it weren't for Lu Yuan's batch of armor that happened to be delivered, I'm afraid there would be a large-scale reduction this time!
Why are there so many casualties? Nan Lixiang went up to the city wall to inspect it, and almost didn't tilt her nose - this city wall actually has no battlements! The main body of the city wall is made of stone and is very strong. But the place where the man stood was only a skirt of thin wooden planks nailed to the edge of the wall, which was less than thirty centimeters...... This thing can be used as a magic horse in bow and arrow shooting! Moreover, the second vice of the Nords is that they like to use drawbridges to connect the various city walls, which seem to be convenient for support, but in fact, the unconcealed drawbridges have become the hardest hit area for soldiers to be killed and wounded.
Yes, if you find a problem, fix it! Change overnight! Battlements - Helgen has been clanging all night, and the Empire has been busy all night...... On a dark night, both sides did not bother to scout the other side.
The next day, there was an extra row of battlements on the Helgen side, and the Imperial side launched two behemoth-like siege towers with "hey, hey, hey!" This time, the Rift City Management Brigade was able to hide behind the battlements and shoot crossbows. But the empire is embarrassed again...... Your wall didn't have a battlement yesterday?
Yesterday, General Tulius saw that it was useless to stab the city, but the shooting effect was okay. After going back, he gritted his teeth, and simply went up to the siege tower with a bow and arrow, and he would definitely be able to take down the Helgen fortress in one fell swoop!
In this era, the siege tower is a kind of ordnance, which belongs to the military mass killing weapon, and the drawings will never be passed on! Specifically, it is a wooden shelf with wheels, covered with cowhide to protect against bows and arrows, and inside to hide soldiers. When the cart is pushed to the edge of the city and the drawbridge is lowered, the soldiers in the building can directly attack the city wall along the drawbridge! Siege towers are generally not afraid of anything except catapults and fire attacks, and are considered one of the ultimate siege methods in the era of cold weapons. The only requirement was that the lowered drawbridge must be able to be placed directly on the city walls.
Yesterday, the magician calculated the height of the city wall, and stayed up all night to revise the drawings to create such a high siege tower car - as a result, in the blink of an eye, there was another one and a half meters high battlements on the city wall, and there was only a gap of less than half a meter in the middle - the command of Helgen Town was cunning, it was really too cunning!
General Tulius sighed over there, how did he know that Anne and their side were also devastated...... Even if you can't rely on the water, what about a two-sided siege? What about wading in the water? What about wave attacks, wheel battles, rockets, and mounds?! We've prepared so many countermeasures just in case you don't sleep, so you can choose just two!
As a veteran general, what is the matter with the fact that you always have to fight with the eastern city wall? Can't you?
I can't stop complaining......
Over there, Tulius's IQ is in arrears, and here Hadava is still thinking a few women tossing. I haven't seen what you're talking about in more than ten years since I joined the army! We just shouted as an officer, and all of us went forward, and the cavalry rushed after the infantry, and the infantry rushed after the cavalry......
What Annie and the others didn't expect was that there was no more bizarre way of fighting in the sky, only more bizarre - on the third day, the Ulfric Storm Cloak, who wanted to show a big face, actually mixed in with the big soldiers, and secretly came to the city gate of Helgen Town, wanting to use the roar of the Nords to roar open the city gate...... This is how he used this method to capture the city of Marcus in the first place, wanting to replicate his success.
But the gate was already stoned to death!
Besides, you're a country...... No, the only two bigwigs in a province, who are not in the rear, actually ran to the front line to send their faces in person, and people are simply sorry for themselves if they don't smoke! Ulfric's voice was hoarse, and the gates didn't move. Nanrika on the city wall seized the opportunity to go up with an arrow and shot Ufric to the right chest and left lung!
Anne then led the Knights of Vigilance to attack from the pontoon bridge (because of the large number of boats near the water, it was possible to build a pontoon bridge to bypass Helgen at any time, thus blocking the city gates). Here, the storm cloak desperately covered the battered old black to escape, and the half-hundred-hundred-heavy cavalry over there chased and killed! Killed at the foot of the Throat of the World in one go, the Storm Cloak lost more than 800 people in the first battle, and more people died than the Helgen Guards combined!
Later, when Twilight Star found out, he regretted vigorously, "If I had seized the opportunity this time, I would have won directly"! Yes, if the whole army can be out when Lao Wu escapes, then even a few thousand against 20,000 will win now. But it's a pity, who would have thought in advance that Lao Wu would be so brainless?
(Actually, Ufric has a criminal record, he assassinated the King of Skyrim during his meeting with the Skyrim King - who will talk to you about an important diplomatic occasion when the leader of one side assassinates the other?) )
In short, it went on like a muddy melee, and three months passed intermittently.
The various situations that happened in the middle often stunned several women who claimed to be "aliens I've seen everything". There are people who are scolded and jump from the city wall more than four meters high...... Ever seen it? The man did not cut it, but threw himself to death; There are also people in the city and under the city who suddenly met acquaintances, and after shouting a few words, they actually said that they would defect...... This kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice.
To put it bluntly, the Nords do not have any collective concept, not only do they have no country in their minds, but they also do not have the collective concept of the army. General Tulius's face is not as important as the friend I brag about. Falcres is a little better in this regard, at least everyone has a much stronger sense of belonging here than the Empire.
There are more dirty things going on on the coalition side. Empire and Storm Cloak, Officer and Aristocrat, Skyrim and Empire's ...... It's as if everyone is competing harder.
It wasn't until August that the war finally became normal.
*****
"Rapid shooting! Shoot all your bolts! ”
With Nan Lixiang's order, countless people lifted the weeds on their bodies and half-squatted towards the camp of the coalition forces and pulled the trigger. I've been lurking from the middle of the night until now, just for this moment! Hundreds of crossbow arrows flew up from the southern slope like a torrential rain, and swooped down on the barracks of the Storm Cloak! Squatting on the hillside, I couldn't see the sight of steel crossbow arrows shooting into the flesh and plasma spraying. But you can see the soldiers who are gathering for breakfast, being shot down in batches like mowing grass.
Arrows pierced weapon racks, through tents where soldiers lived, and through reclining battle flags. It wasn't until the rain of arrows covered the camp that it continued to extend to the flanks.
Round 5, Round 10...... The Soldier's arm was numb, and he mechanically wound his crossbow and shot the arrow.
"Stop!" As most of the people finished shooting a box of twelve arrows, Nan Lixiang stretched out her hand and drew a circle towards the sky, "Let's go!" Meet at the West City Gate! ”
Hundreds of people put their crossbow bows on their backs without saying a word, and then scattered into several waves like rabbits, fled into the forest in a puff of smoke, and disappeared in a blink of an eye! When the coalition brigade rushed up the hillside, they found nothing but large patches of discarded weeds......
Yes, a few months later, Anne and the others finally found the key to victory for the Nords, and that was - the Mountain Regiment!
Although people like Nords look like natural heavy infantry, they are actually a distance from the heavy infantry of the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing for heavy infantry is discipline, and only with discipline can thousands of people become one, advancing and retreating like a great wall of steel! But the most lacking quality in the nature of the Nord people is discipline......
Five Nords can play epic matches against a pack of wolves; Thirty Nords get together and become a group of thieves; And a few hundred Nords in a barracks can only be a group of stragglers. My Great China Walk-Queue training doesn't work at all - the Nord knows about it, but he just doesn't do what you command! If you want to discipline him, he will fight with you, and he would rather die in heads-up...... And then a group of people around him thought he was a man!
I can't die like that person with admiration! Anyway, let them stand in line, that would be harder than death.
There's no way around it...... In the end, Nan Lixiang broke the jar and fell, so he simply formed a mountain group.
According to the squads, each squad is divided into five people, every five squads have a brigade, and every five brigades have a mountain regiment. Gather together to carry out a sneak attack, and when the coalition forces come, they retreat in small teams, and whoever is blocked is considered unlucky, and the rest of the time is free to move...... I didn't expect it to do this, but it actually worked very well.
A small team of five people, they are willing to do anything - digging into the gutter, diving, lying on the hillside, stealing supplies, and even pretending to be a woman to infiltrate the coalition camp! This stepping horse is a mountain regiment, this is a special forces. Today I play the Empire and engage in the Storm Cloak, tomorrow I will become a Talos believer attacking the Empire, and the day after tomorrow I will sneak into the military camp and swing around and pull out more than two dozen fellows...... They are not on the frontal battlefield, but they are not at all less lethal to the Empire.
"How's it going today?"
When Minami Rika returns to Phocles in circles with half of the mountain regiment (the rest are gone), she happens to meet Anne and the Knights of Vigilance, who have come to meet them.
"It's okay, most of them are back...... Storm Cloak may have killed more than 200 people, and I don't think they could eat breakfast today. Hehe~" Minami Sayaka said with a smile.
It's a shame that they're fighting like this—the Mountain Regiments spare the Imperial Army every time they attack, specifically targeting the Storm Cloak. Now the Storm Cloak has lost nearly 1,500 casualties, while the Empire has suffered less than 500 casualties. The balance of forces between the two sides began to become unbalanced, and they did not believe that the two enemies could really be close and never turn their backs.
Even if that female supreme king has no ambitions, but that person Uffrick is an inferior Cao Cao with an intelligence of 50, and he will definitely not trust anyone.
"Let's go, that guy today...... It's time to start broadcasting again. Anne said helplessly. Nanrixiang immediately became embarrassed, and the Nords of the Mountain Order high-fived each other in anticipation, while the vigilant Knights were confused—they were all followers of Stendhal and could not hear Helsin's broadcast.
"What is he going to say today?"
Hearing Nan Satoka ask, Anne's expression was a little strange, "He said yes...... The last words of the war dead? ”
