Chapter 1400: The Ten Legions Are Coming (Part II)

"Report!" "Tanma ran all the way into the Chinese military tent unhindered," General Shaodiancang was defeated in an attack, and only returned to the barracks with less than half of the men. ”

"How long has it been?" Wu was shocked, "How many enemy troops are there?"

"It is said that there is only the 196th Division, but there is a strange 'chariot' that blocks the charge of the 91st Division. "Tanma doesn't have a lot of information.

"Order a large group to go to the east gate to harass them, test the enemy's reaction, and return to the barracks immediately if the enemy attacks. ”

Wu Yu was relieved, and decided to use the speed of the cavalry to spy on the situation in Gongbo City, and Shaodian Cang was able to withdraw, indicating that the enemy was not capable of leaving the 91st Division, and his troops should be fine if they were careful.

The east gate and the north side of Gongbo City are brightly lit, and the figures above and below the city are longing, and the gate blocking project is in progress.

Tang Fu collected his troops and returned to the city to take the west gate, and after entering the city, he went straight to the baggage camp and rushed to see the iron block as soon as possible.

"It's a moving fortress! stronger than I thought. He circled around the ten iron carriages, patting the cold shells from time to time, and pong pong, making a pleasant metallic sound.

"Can the damage be repaired?" he fingered, feeling a scratch.

"Yes. This should have been left by the fearless knight, and he slashed so deep that his subordinates left only a latent mark with a single sword. Feng Xu knew that Tang Fu was coming, so he was waiting in the baggage camp.

"We were able to defeat the 91st Division, and who would dare to underestimate us when we spread the word. It was as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

More than 3,000 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded tonight, and hundreds of prisoners were captured, which can indeed be regarded as the most brilliant record of his life.

"It's all up to this iron pulley!" he couldn't help but kiss the iron luge in front of him, "With this thing in hand, I'm no longer afraid of cavalry troops." ”

The 196th Division can be said to be the first unit to be equipped with iron pulleys, and they were transferred from Nanping County, and they made a special detour to Nanqiu County on the way, and were responsible for escorting a batch of equipment to Huashan County.

There were exactly fifty iron pulleys in that batch of equipment, and since they were troops who knew about it earlier, Jiang Xi specially approved ten for them.

"This thing is too bulky, inconvenient, more than sturdy, and inflexible, and can only fight positional warfare in the field, and cannot restrain the mobility of the cavalry. "I have a clear understanding of every narrative.

"It's enough to be able to fight positionally!" Tang Fu was content, "In the past, when I encountered cavalry in the field, I thought most about how to escape for my life, but now I can at least ensure a safe retreat." ”

"The tackling ability of the iron block is also very good, and it has really helped us improve our combat effectiveness a lot. "Feng Xu dared to implement tonight's tactics because of the iron pulley.

"Report! There are enemy troops wandering outside the east gate. ”

Tang Fu was about to speak, Feng Xu took the first step and said: "My lord, go and rest first, the enemy army is just a test tonight, the real fierce battle is tomorrow, you have to take care of your spirits." ”

"Well, I'll leave it to the staff officer tonight. ”

The enemy attacked the city earlier than expected.

After a night of testing, Wu Yu confirmed that there was only one regular division in Gongbo City. After the craftsman assembled a batch of improvised siege equipment, he immediately ordered the siege.

The elite legion is not called in vain, the tenth legion can charge on the horse, and the horse can attack the city, and Wu Yu borrowed the magician and some soldiers and horses of the 91st Division, and began to storm the east gate from early in the morning.

He dared to do this because the main force of the Legion was rapidly approaching, and reinforcements would arrive immediately.

Shaodiancang didn't dare to be sloppy after eating a defeat, and wrote a detailed battle report with a letter eagle to send back, Shaodiantai heard the news, and sent reinforcements without waiting for dawn.

If you have God's perspective, you can see that the two troops, one south and one north, are rushing to Gongbo City at high speed.

"Rush to the creek in front to rest for a while, and let the magicians regain their magic. Yi Sheng looked at the red fireball that popped up from the top of the mountain in the distance.

The most important thing in this rush to the aid of Gongbo City is the magician group in the team, and they are the key force to resist the Ten Legions.

Tie Qibin flipped through the map, compared the nearby scenery, and said: "Yi Shuai, we have come to the southern foot of Gongshan Mountain, and there is Gongbo Pass in front of us, so we can arrive before noon." ”

There are two big mountains in the south of Gongbo City, one is called Gongshan and the other is called Boshan, there is an official road between the two mountains, and the locals are used to calling it Gongbo Passage.

Gongbo Passage is a shortcut to the south of Gongbo City, if you don't go here, you have to bypass Gongshan or Boshan, the distance is four or five times longer.

The Tenth Army Corps took Gongbo City, which could be attacked and defended, and there was a lot of strategic room for maneuver.

Wu Yu has been standing on the platform, holding a pestle and a spear, and from the beginning of the war to the present, his eyes have never left the subordinates on the front line.

"Break the door troops!" he noticed the appearance of a new military flag on the castle tower, which meant that the defenders, who had been fighting for most of the morning, were about to change their guards.

Two hundred soldiers seized the gap in the defenders, rushed to the city gate with special anti-arrow canopies, and brought more than a dozen war horses covered with several layers of fine armor.

The other troops desperately attacked the city head, covering the approach of the gatekeepers, and several strong men wielded hammers and knocked more than a dozen hooks with iron chains on the door, the other end of which was tied to the back of a horse.

"Alright! Ready, one, two, three, pull! Pull hard!"

There were special people who were responsible for whipping the horses, and more than a dozen horses pulled the chains together to open the city gates, and there were soldiers who attacked the nodes that fixed the city gates, and they were loosened a little if they were not broken.

The movement of the door-breaking troops is very fast, and it seems that there are frequent drills, and when the hook is about to fall off, a strong man smashes it into the door again with a hammer. After pulling like this more than ten times, Zla, boom, the gates were opened.

The cheers of the officers and men of the 92nd Division stopped abruptly as soon as they sounded, and behind the broken city gate was a gray wall.

Several strong men were furious, picked up the hammer and smashed the wall hard, sand and gravel flew around, and the wall was pitted in a blink of an eye, but except for a few cracks, the wall showed no signs of collapse.

Tang Fu sneered in the city: "How can a reinforced concrete wall several meters thick be smashed so easily?

The concrete wall was not capped to the top, and there was a hole in it that could be drilled into by one person.

No soldier would be stupid enough to drill that hole, and all it takes is a ballista to hold off thousands of horses.

"Order the troops to withdraw and go up the ladder!" Wu Yu sighed helplessly, "Alas!"

He wanted to say something, but suddenly his face moved, poof, jumped off the platform, and then lay on the ground to listen.

"Here we go! Reinforcements are coming!" he smiled as he got up, at least ten thousand horses galloped miles away, and the cavalry generals were especially sensitive to this.

Whew, a magician flew into the city tower and nodded at Tang Fu: "It's here." ”

"Great!" Tang Fu's face was full of red light, "Brothers, work hard! Lord Commander will be here soon!"

After the half-pillar incense, smoke and dust were raised on both sides of the north and south sides of Gongbo City, the fine sand on the ground was beating, and the wooden frame supporting the platform creaked.

Wu Yu and Tang Fu shouted at the same time: "It's here!"

In the north, Chen Panqiu led the 93rd Division to arrive, and in the south, Yi Sheng led the mixed division to arrive, and the officers and soldiers inside and outside Gongbo City cheered loudly.

The number of reinforcements from both sides was about the same, and even the number of mages was about the same, but the situation was in favor of the defenders.

"Sound the gong and collect the troops!" Wu Yu was very frustrated.

Now there are at least 20,000 regular troops and hundreds of magicians in Gongbo City, and only three divisions cannot be captured by any means.

Shaodiantai also knew it, but he hesitated and did not continue to send reinforcements, just because of the military information he had just received, "The 71st Division rushed to Huashan County, and the scouts of the 12th Army Corps have been shuttling freely in Dingxiang County. ”

This means that Xing Bao can go around to the rear of the Tenth Army at any time, and it is unknown how many troops Yi Sheng will bring in front of him, and the most terrifying thing is Dong Ba, who does not know when and where he will come out.

Ding Kui went to the staff headquarters to drink tea again, and now there is no need to hide his whereabouts.

"The message sent back by Cai Ran can confirm that Yi Sheng has arrived in Gongbo City, hahaha, I want to see how Shao Diantai will choose. "He doesn't know much about Shaodiantai.

"How else can you choose, today Gongsun Mi must have found that Fei Ze has retreated, isn't Shao Diantai afraid that he will be surrounded?" Kong Ren made a cup of tea for Ding Kui.

"Shao Diantai is really not afraid, but Shao Dianxi is afraid that if the Ten Legions are buried in our hands, Nanjing City will be in danger. "Jiang Xi rarely appears in civilian clothes.

"It's best that Shao Dianxi is not afraid, then I will really organize troops to surround Shao Diantai and see if I can capture the commander of the elite legion. "Ding Kui's appetite is not small.

Jiang Xi squinted at Ding Kui and asked, "Do you know who the former commander of the Tenth Army was?"

This Ding Kui really hadn't studied it, but his eyes rolled, and he seemed to understand something, so he replied: "Could it be the time of the Shaodian?"

"You guessed it. Jiang Xi was not surprised.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Shaodian was the president of the Knights' Association at the time, and he was a more important vein of the royal family, so it was reasonable for him to serve as a cavalry general when he was relatively young.

"No wonder Shaodian was in a hurry to send the Ten Legions over, with ulterior motives. No, I'll have to go to the front. Ding Kui's heart was moved.

"Don't blame your second uncle for not reminding you when you come back. "Jiang Xi likes to see young people have such a spirit of not admitting defeat.

"I don't blame you!" Ding Kui left without looking back.

As for whether he went to Huashan County or not, no one knows, anyway, he did leave Nanqiu County that day.

Just when Shaodiantai was hesitating, an urgent military situation came from Nanjing, and Gongsun Mi led his troops to repel the 74th and 75th divisions.

Smack, a piece of military order was smashed into several pieces by him, "Lao Tzu pinned down the enemy's main force and robbed him of the first credit!"

Qin Lili stood at the door of the big tent, not knowing whether it was better to go in or not, and looked at the legion commander in embarrassment.

"You go!" Shaodiantai pointed at Qin Lili, "Pick up the forward troops back, this battle can't go on." ”

“......”

The soldiers and horses outside Gongbo City withdrew, and Yi Sheng did not fight a battle after he arrived with his people.

He looked at the enemy troops in the distance and complained: "If I knew that this was the case, I should have ordered someone to pretend to be me, and the staff department would not reveal any more information." ”

"Then I'll tell you a little bit of news, Lord Ding may come over. ”

Yi Sheng turned his head and glared at Cai Ran: "You didn't say it just now?"
