A battalion of infantry came to the corner, and the defenders began to launch fortifications of the city, and iron soup, stones, steel nails, all kinds of filth, etc., were poured down by the defenders hiding in the shadows, and for a time the first battalion of infantry could not raise their heads.

"There are skilled craftsmen in the city, and those mechanisms are installed in the dark, so that the defenders can attack our army without showing their heads, and this city is not easy to attack. "The more I look at Shaodianye, the more anxious I become.

"Normally, the threat of crossbowmen is too great, I will also organize the defense like this, but I didn't expect the morale of the defenders to be quite high, their defense has not leaked so far, and has not given us any chance. "Mo Jun has been looking for a flaw in the defenders, but unfortunately he has not been able to do so.

The first battalion took advantage of the break in the defense to finally raise seven or eight siege ladders, and in order to avoid the destruction of the defenders, the ladder heads were deliberately erected under the battlements.

Mo Jun's spirits were lifted, and as long as the infantry climbed the wall, the defenders had nowhere to hide.

The individual combat effectiveness of the Red Army naturally far exceeds that of the local city defense army, and once the hand-to-hand combat is connected, it will definitely be able to play an advantage.

Dozens of infantry jumped up the siege ladders, each with seven or eight, and a battalion of soldiers was so strong that the city wall less than thirty meters high could reach the top in just over ten breaths.

As soon as the corners of Shaodianye's mouth were hooked, the wooden square at the top of the city wall suddenly turned over, and the siege ladder was pushed away, and the infantry below failed to hold it down, all the siege ladders fell backwards, and the soldiers on the ladder hurriedly jumped down.

"Damn!" Mo Jun slapped his thigh violently, "The planks on the surface of the city wall are moving, and the defenders are so insidious!"

The two regimental commanders finally knew what the planks were for, and that might be just the tip of the iceberg, otherwise the city would not have gone to such great lengths to put planks on all the walls.

"Ming Jin recalls the first battalion, and the second battalion pushes the battering ram!" Mo Jun hurriedly changed his tactics.

If you continue to climb the wall, you will still be beaten, and you will not be able to cause damage to the defenders, so you will be very passive.

The defenders, intimidated by the power of the crossbows, did not rush into pursuit of the retreating battalion.

The second battalion also advanced smoothly to the city gate, but many jars were suddenly dropped on the city tower, fell to the ground and shattered, and the yellow and clear fire oil flowed all over the ground.

"Get out of the way!" shouted the second battalion commander.

This is a common trick used by the defenders, burning the battering ram, but this trick has a drawback, the consumption of fire oil is greater than that of the battering ram, which is a more wasteful method in terms of value.

Mo Jun frowned and said: "What a tenacious will to resist, this is the most tenacious enemy that the Protector Red Army has encountered since its formation." ”

"No! There is a situation on the left and right!"

It turned out that there was a lot of smoke and dust on both sides of the city, and it seemed that a large number of people and horses were surrounding.

Mo Jun raised his binoculars to take a closer look, "How is it a reckless cow?" He suspected that he had made a mistake and looked at it a few more times, it was indeed a reckless cow!

Most of the meat in this world is mangbeef, and there are many mangtou cattle in captivity everywhere, but the mangniu has a docile and timid personality, even if you whip it with a leather whip, it may not go crazy, it is easy to be frightened on the battlefield, and when it is afraid, it will kneel on the ground and remain motionless.

"Why are the defenders driving so many reckless cattle out? Give us a reward army?" Shaodian Ye also saw it clearly, and he was puzzled.

"Order the second battalion to withdraw!" Mo Jun was more cautious.

This is very different from his previous style, when he was extremely brave in the Eighth Legion, and was appreciated by Ding Dao as a personal soldier.

However, he has seen too many novelties over the years with Ding Kui, especially in the military aspect, each of which has unexpected lethality, so he suffered from a phobia of new things, and it was because of this phobia that the lives of the soldiers of the two regiments were saved.

"Oh no! They lit the fire! Oops, burn the cow with fire, the cow isn't crazy yet!"

In the distance, the cattle were on fire, and even without a telescope, they could see that there was fire on the bulls.

If Ding Kui was here, he would definitely be surprised, isn't this the famous Fire Bull Array!

Similar things will happen to human beings in various worlds, maybe all human beings have the same origin, and intelligent human beings do not belong to the unique products of a certain world or space.

There were hundreds of cows on the left and right sides of the Red Army's position, and two herds of cows rushed over like crazy, and a ball of fireball was vaguely visible tied to their tails.

There is a slight difference from Tiandan's fire bull formation during the Warring States period of the earth, that is, there is no sharp knife tied to the horns.

The others retreated to the rear of the horses, and the third battalion was responsible for digging tunnels. Mo Jun became more and more calm.

"The third battalion of the strong crossbow also went to help dig the tunnel, and the first battalion and the second battalion pulled to the left and right!"

The crossbowmen in the siege positions will cause confusion when they run back, while the mad bull is blind and will not chase after the man, and the best option is to spread out in both directions.

"There are still people behind the bull!" Mo Jun did not put down the binoculars when he ordered.

Shao Dianye looked in the direction Mo Jun was looking: "It's actually a rush!"

The "chariot" is a horse-drawn chariot with a spear in front of it, and the horse is sheathed behind, so that the driver can hide behind the vehicle, and this thing is specially used to attack the battle formation of ranged soldiers.

Because the production process of the rushing car is very high, it is inconvenient to manufacture it on a large scale, and it is relatively affected by the terrain, and the impact and flexibility are far inferior to the cavalry formation, so the regular army units have long been abandoned.

Today's rush car appeared in Binlai City, which is not unusual for a city with skilled craftsmen, and it is strange that this equipment is used to deal with crossbowmen, and it is behind the fire bull formation.

"Quick, order the crossbowmen to retreat! The infantry regiment also retreats! Stay out of the edge for the time being. Mo Jun realized that it would be difficult for his side to resist the enemy's serial attacks, and even if he did, he would suffer a large number of casualties.

The commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses on this road is Mo Jun, and Shao Dianye is the deputy commander, but Mo Jun will not directly order the crossbowmen, and he wants to save some face for Shao Dianye.

On a frontal battlefield with equal strength, the 1st Infantry Regiment and the 1st Crossbow Regiment were defeated for the first time.

That's right, it was defeated, and Shengsheng was beaten away by the defenders of Binlai City, and it sounded like a retreat, although Shaodianye was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he had to accept this fact.

Rushing troops were not invincible, and they could be easily defeated by a cavalry attack behind them, which was one reason why the regular army units abandoned the charging troops.

It's a pity that in order to quickly capture Shibu County, Zhong only sent 3,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries to Binlai City, and there were no cavalry in it.

There were cavalry in the support units, such as the 196th Division.

After reading the military report, Tang Fu opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time, "Mo Jun has been defeated! ”

The staff officer of the 196th Division Feng Xu had just been transferred, and Yi Sheng carried out a round of purging of his subordinates after defecting to Ding Kui.

Fengjia is the first batch of famous families in Dongxing County to support Yi Sheng, the children of the family love to read, and there are also talents who study military history, Fengxu is the most outstanding one. After the patriarch strongly recommended Yi Sheng, Feng Xu parachuted into the 196th Division as a staff officer.

He read through military history, was familiar with military affairs, and withstood the test of Tang Fu after arriving in the 196th Division, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the army.

In fact, his subordinates had also studied how to fight against the Red Army at home, and they had thought of several ways at the beginning, including the use of the rushing troops, but compared to the masters in the city, the subordinates were dwarfed. He admired the people who came up with the idea of a fire bull formation and a rush car.

"It's hard to replicate the style of play in this guest city, those plank mechanisms can't be done by anyone, they need to have skilled craftsmen, let alone master craftsmen, and they have a huge flaw. He didn't praise the enemy.

"What's the flaw?" said Tomford, who became more and more convinced.

"This way of defending the city is too targeted, in exchange for our army to attack the city, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced, we have enough troops to prevent them from releasing the reckless oxen, and there are cavalry brigades to restrain the rushing troops, as for the city fortifications, destroy them one by one. "Although Feng Xu admires his opponent, he is also confident.

"Then our army should rush to join Mo Junbu. Townsford was relieved to hear that his troops could win.

"Wait, if our army takes the initiative to go over, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Feng Xu stopped Tang Fu.

"Why not?"

Feng Xu said with a smile: "As soon as the people lost the battle, we relied on the past to say that we could win the enemy, this is not a slap in the face of Commander Mo Jun." ”

This worry soon became a problem, and Mo Jun's messenger came, inviting the 196th Division to meet under the city of Binlai to discuss the siege of the city.

Mo Jun is an old oilman in the army, he knows the importance of completing the task, and he does not value his own face.

After the meeting, Feng Xu repeated his idea, which was unanimously approved by Mo Jun and Shaodianye.

"With the help of General Tang and the staff officers, Binlai City can go down on the same day. Mo Jun regained his confidence.

Feng Xu looked at Tang Fu, and then said, "Captain Mo has won the award." The subordinates felt that the defenders of Binlai City might still have a backhand, and our army should not rashly attack, and it was best to find out all the means of the defenders first. ”

"Reported! There are messengers in the city who are outside the camp asking to see you. ”

Several officers looked at each other, all with surprised expressions.

"Listen to what the messenger has to say, and let him in. "Mo Jun is in charge, and the others have no opinion.

The city lord of Binlai actually offered to open the city and surrender!

"Surrender by fraud! It must be surrender by fraud!" Shao Dianye drew his sword and thought that the rear camp would cut down the messenger.

"Don't be impulsive!" Mo Jun held down Shao Dianye, "Let General Tang and Staff Officer Feng laugh." ”

"Hehe, young people just have a sharp spirit. "It's hard to say anything.

The combination of the old and the young of the Red Army is just right, and there is stability and enthusiasm.

"Who's making the tactics in Binlaicheng? That's crucial, that person should know that we won't believe in the surrender of Kaesong, after all, they only won a small battle. ”

Feng Xu didn't say this to Mo Jun, although the Red Army was defeated, the casualties were minimal, the biggest loss was only the loss of some siege equipment, the casualties were negligible, and the defenders of Binlai City could only be regarded as a small victory.

"The city lord on our information is a soft-eared man, and he definitely does not have the courage and courage to fight our army, so it seems that there should be another master to guide him. "Mo Jun has the information provided by the Security Bureau and the Old Spy Department.
