Come to Daming with military supplies

Facts have proved that what Yang Chendong wants to build is an elite army, and he is following the route of elite soldiers.Moreover, he attaches great importance to the lives of soldiers, and if there is only a slight possibility, he will always find a way to ensure the safety of soldiers.Under this principle, the establishment of the new Second Army naturally cannot be all recruits, otherwise, if it really encounters a tough battle, if the loss is too large, it is not his wish.

The task of establishing the New Second Army was issued, and the regulations were also given on how to select personnel.In order to ensure that there are no accidents during the training, more than [-] soldiers from the Recruit Division of the New First Army also boarded the tower.In principle, they don't need to take action when it's not critical.

It is possible to train soldiers, but it is not what Yang Chendong wants if he loses the city and loses a big battle because of the training.

"Give them a sufficient number of bows and arrows and weapons, and tell them that if you want to become a glorious Five-Star Army soldier, the time has come for you to perform." Knowing that all the cities outside the four cities were besieged, and the siege was still tight, Yang Chendong couldn't help but He hurriedly issued military orders to Shebie, the future commander of the New Second Army.

This young man who has been reused since he met Yang Chendong, and has been promoted all the way, with half Han and half Mongolian blood, finally has the opportunity to play the leading role alone.For this value, all that Shebie needs to do is go all out besides devoting herself to it.

Yang Chendong is undoubtedly very relieved to leave the matter to Shebie.So when the big battle was approaching, while others were busy busy, he accompanied Luan Xiaoyu in the Yang Mansion to teach her to sing new songs and how to make up new programs.

As a result, apart from a group of generals and gentlemen coming in and out of Yang's house every day, there are also a group of female cadres from the Propaganda Department to join in the fun.In this regard, everyone felt that their Sixth Young Master had too much heart.

However, it was this big heart that gave everyone unprecedented confidence.The indifference and self-confidence shown by Yang Chendong encouraged everyone, and gradually, more officers did not take the big battle in front of them seriously.

It took a full two days to surround Shicheng on all sides, and then the army set up camp. It took another two days for 30 people to prepare siege weapons, which means they came under Shicheng. Only then did they realize that the ladder they had prepared before was still too short, and the length was far from enough.

The height of the city of Sanbuwachuan is only five or six feet high, while the height of the towers of Shicheng City has reached fifteen feet, and the length of the corresponding ladders has to be increased.This matter is difficult for the Oala coalition forces.They had to send more warriors to scour the woods for available materials.

The offensive at that time, without the help of firearms, was generally the same as the old three.That is, shield carts, trebuchets and ladders.

Needless to say, the ladder is a thing for climbing the city, and its structure is simple; the catapult is a long-range offensive weapon, mainly for the purpose of deterring and suppressing the oppression of the opponent's bow and arrow. The stones are not very easy to find, especially when the city was built before, the nearby stones were excavated earlier, making the catapult become a gunpowder cart at this moment, and because of the limited amount of gunpowder of the Oirat coalition army and the accuracy of the attack is really unacceptable Eyes, the power of this catapult is also greatly reduced.

Finally, let's talk about the shield car.This is a kind of wooden cart, covered with a layer of cowhide on the outside to ensure that bows and arrows can't be shot through easily, and the cowhide is soaked in water to ensure that it is not invaded by water and fire.It is the best auxiliary means to get close to the city, and it is also one of the important "weapons" when the Oirat coalition forces attacked the city.

Among the 30 coalition troops who came, Wala were all cavalry, and there were [-] infantry in Yiliba, which was also the main force for attacking the city.As long as they can attack the city tower, then rush down, and open the city gate from the inside, the cavalry warriors can take the opportunity to enter the city. All will be snapped up.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Tomorrow is the day to launch the first attack, and he also looked at Arip first, with a look of beggarness on his face.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Alip nodded, choosing Shicheng as the target, which was originally his first proposal.Now that he has infantry for the siege in his hands, the first battle will naturally start from him.

That night, Arip called General Kurban, the commander of the infantry, and gave him an order to attack the city tomorrow. "Remember, on the first day of attacking the city, it is still necessary to be tentative. First find out the reality of the opponent. There have always been rumors in the outside world that the five-star army has extraordinary combat power. Be careful. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. The advantage of the cavalry lies in charging, not defending the city, so feel free to do it.”

9 Chapter Eighty High Morale

After estimating difficulties, Kurban nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, our [-] infantry will not let you down."

On the third day of August in [-] A.D., the defense of Shicheng officially started.

This morning, the sun rose slowly and the sky was clear.The sound of the horn officially sounded, and the sound of drums of soldiers stepping on the ground came from the four outer cities of Shicheng.This voice startled the more than [-] people in Shicheng City, and even made the [-] reserve soldiers guarding the city tower both excited and nervous.

Twenty thousand reserve soldiers are divided into four cities, each with more than 5000 people. This is the first batch of warriors in the logistics division to sign up for the war.

The news of the establishment of the new Second Army has already spread in the city.For reserve soldiers, this will be a great opportunity to officially step into the ranks of Iron Warriors.They are also soldiers, the treatment of the regular army and the reserves is indeed very different, which has made many people dissatisfied.

It's a pity that Tian Khan is following the route of elite soldiers, and everyone knows this.That is, even if you have all the skills, it is a sad thing that you lack a platform to express yourself.Well now, the New Second Army is about to be established, and there are more than 2 formal fighters waiting for everyone, which makes many people eager to try.

But it seems that more than 2 places are already quite a lot. In comparison, the competitiveness still exists.Leaving aside the fact that there are 8 reserve soldiers in the logistics division and 6 new captives, there are as many as 6 to 20 aspiring young people in Shicheng.Taken together, it is [-], almost a ratio of ten to ten, which still makes many people feel strong pressure.

Those who survived the battle on the city for three days and defended the tower can join the army.As soon as the news was announced, the applicants crowded the recruiting office of the New Second Army. If Shebie hadn't prepared earlier, there might be a big problem.

These 2 people were the first batch to sign up, and they were arranged into four echelons, divided into four cities.That is to say, the tower outside Shicheng is spacious enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be possible to accommodate so many warriors.There is a so-called safe passage behind each tower.Normally, Commander Lu Zhuo and the soldiers from the New First Army's Recruit Division wait here, just in case there is any problem, they will fill in the vacancy in time.This channel has another meaning. Once a soldier can't stand the baptism of war and feels afraid, he can retreat from here. It can be regarded as a deserter and he will not be punished, but he will be recorded in the register and lose his selection. Opportunities for the Second Army.

Such a humanized design is for Yang Chendong to save the lives of the soldiers to the greatest extent. After all, sometimes the death of one person will lead to disasters for several members of the family.

The drums sounded under the city, and two thousand infantry soldiers appeared under each city tower. They walked in a unified pace, either pushing a shield chariot, or holding a ladder, or holding a longbow, or He came slowly with a knife and a shield, with a powerful killing spirit in his heavy steps.

The battlements on the city were already full of reserve soldiers holding bows and arrows. Their eyes were wide open, their faces were flushed, and some of them were simply trembling. The bows and arrows in their hands had dropped to the ground several times.

Not all men are born warriors, there are many who do not like the way of killing, and some are born

Just timid.This time they were just fighting for honor and to protect the people of the whole city, so they stood up bravely.But it wasn't until the moment when they stood on the tower with bows and arrows in their hands that they realized that war is not just talk, and it is not like the book said that when a man gets angry, blood splatters three feet, but a kind of fighting for life. A process of facing death, a cruel test of the mind.

Before the war started, all kinds of unbearable performances of the reserve soldiers fell into the eyes of the veteran soldiers patrolling the city. These soldiers who did not know how many life-and-death battles played the role of pillars.When they saw that some soldiers behaved no differently than usual, they did not utter humiliation, but kept encouraging, "Everyone, don't panic, let alone be afraid, just perform well like usual training. Remember, when you are brave enough and clever enough, even bows and arrows will go around you, only those who really panic will become the targets of the enemy's bows and arrows."

"Relax everyone. In fact, we were very nervous when we fought for the first time. No one is not afraid of death, and no one is born a qualified and excellent fighter. Everything comes from countless experiences, but our war is not It’s meaningless, think about how our efforts can ensure the safety of our families; think about how our family and relatives can live a better and more dignified life because of our efforts; think about how we can lay a peace for future generations with our hands The country and the supreme honor, warriors, fight and victory must belong to you."

After the comfort of the veterans, at some time, graceful female propaganda soldiers appeared in the safe area behind the tower. They fought at a distance of about ten meters, so that their voices could be heard in the tower. everywhere.

"Recruit comrades-in-arms, the time to perform has come, the time to change your life has come, think of your family members who expect you to triumph, think of your relatives and friends who have hoped for you, show your fearlessness, bravery and side, we will with you."

The sudden arrival of the beautiful female soldiers gave greater encouragement to the recruits.After all, no man is willing to show his cowardly side in front of a woman.For a while, many soldiers became calmer. Some soldiers who could not hold their bows no longer trembled. Their eyes became firmer and they showed more strength.

Under the city, the horn of attack sounded, and it was no longer dull before, but became much louder.Only 100 meters away from the foot of the tower, the infantry in Yiliba launched their first wave of offensive.At the moment, bows and arrows rained down, clanging and falling around the shield vehicle, but most of them were useless, and only a few could be shot at the enemy infantry.

The gap between recruits and veterans was infinitely magnified at this moment.In a short period of time, tens of thousands of bows and arrows were wasted in this way, in exchange for limited casualties of the enemy.Fortunately, Yang Chendong and Shebie had already expected such a thing to happen. The bows and arrows used by these recruits were all very rough in workmanship, and they were newly made recently, so it is nothing to lose some of them.

The bows and arrows landed on the siege Yilibali infantry, which caused bursts of laughter from them. Seeing that the bow shooting level of the soldiers defending the city was so low and the bows and arrows were so rough, this

Such an opponent made them rejoice and at the same time they were full of confidence.

When the opponent's strength drops infinitely, it means that they are one step closer to victory.Especially when the news was reported to the infantry commander General Kulban, he couldn't help laughing three times, "Okay, okay, it's really better to see once than to hear a hundred times. It is said that the five-star army is powerful, and it is difficult to There are opponents, but in my opinion, it is pure nonsense. In this way, increase the attack strength and try to destroy the city within three days, and all the good things in Shicheng will be ours by then."

Kurban not only talked to his subordinates, nor just to boost morale, but reported to Prime Minister Arip that he had captured Shicheng in three days.

Such a bold statement made Ali Pu and Yexian very excited when they got the news.Originally thought that this was a tough battle, but now it seems that they still overestimated the Han army.Thinking about it, the Han people have always been synonymous with weakness in front of these Mongolian cavalry.One is a carnivorous wolf, and the other is a herbivorous sheep, how can they say the same thing.

On the wall outside the city of Shi, [-] recruits, after the initial panic, began to gradually enter their roles under the guidance of the veterans.Especially when they noticed that because the city wall was too high, when the enemy's infantry wanted to attack the city, it would take a certain amount of time just to climb the ladder, or because the city wall was too high, it was difficult for the opponent's bow and arrow to shoot accurately on the tower, Even if they hit the top, they no longer had much strength, and after it was difficult to pose a threat to them, their courage became stronger and stronger.

Some people say that most of the drinking capacity is practiced, but in fact the same is true for courage.When you kill someone for the first time, you will be nervous, afraid, afraid, and even have nightmares, but if you kill more people, it will become a habit, and you will find that it is not a big deal of.

The same is true for archery. After the initial panic, they found that the enemy could not threaten their own safety. Coupled with the constant guidance of veterans, once they experienced the tension at the beginning of the war, many people could operate correctly as they did during training. .In addition, the 2 people sent at the beginning were not all recruits, and many of them were prisoners who had been on the battlefield. They still had combat experience to some extent. After playing it out, at least it's not like it was before, shooting nine times out of ten.

With the help of the shield car, they quickly came to the corner of the city wall, and then it was time to set up the ladder and launch a siege battle.Because the performance of the Five-Star Army was really bad, the tentative siege that Kulban had prepared had also become the real siege now.Another 8000 people, [-] soldiers were added under each city wall, and a limited number of gunpowder catapults were also ready. It looked like they were going to take Shicheng in one go.

Speaking of it, what the Mongols are best at is herding, and then looting.They couldn't make things like gunpowder.The gunpowder we have today is also thanks to the Northern Ming Army. They put it in Jingzhou City and pulled it down when they fled from the city.

Looking at the small amount of gunpowder that was robbed, Kurban gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Take out half of it. Today we will give the Five-Star Army a good blow to let them know how powerful we are. Then the army Get ready to take down the city with a burst of vigor.

Chapter 981 The Power of the Grenade

Kurban issued an order, all the gunpowder catapults were in place, and more and more Yili Bali siege infantry gathered under the city. The eyes of all of them were shining with excitement. At this moment, they seemed to have seen the piled up The gold and silver are placed in front of their own, let them ask for it.

Above the city tower, Shebie, who was almost a polished army commander, went into battle in person. He looked down the city with a binoculars in a well-protected watchtower, and was shocked when he saw the scene of the catapult preparing for battle. Order to go on, everyone finds a safe place to hide, and at the same time informs the New First Army's recruit division Commander Lu, and prepares for the whole division to attack."

The soldier's performance was seen by Shebie just now, and he was somewhat disappointed.But thinking that people always need continuous experience to grow up, my heart is full of expectations.Now that the enemy is about to use gunpowder to attack the city, how can they not know how powerful it is.Although he could pretend not to see it, letting the soldiers go through a harsher battle was nothing more than more casualties.But when he thought of what Yang Chendong often heard, soldiers all had families and relatives, and every time a person died in battle, it was a tragedy for a family, so he decided it was better to avoid the edge.

The order was issued very quickly, and when more and more defenders of the city looked for suitable shelters to hide, Kurban's shouts from the city also spread.With an order, hundreds of gunpowder packets soared into the air, roaring and leaping towards the tower.

After a very short time, rumbling explosions sounded one after another, and some of them just landed on the corridors of the tower, which immediately brought extremely terrifying lethality, and battlements on the originally intact tower Being blasted, the scattered days are flying everywhere.

Fortunately, the accuracy of the gunpowder catapults is too poor, less than one-fifth of them hit the target, most of them exploded on the city wall, and some even fell back to the ground before exploding. For a while, he hurt a lot of his own people.

"Initiate a charge." With the power of gunpowder, Kurban felt that the time had come, and gave the order for the entire army to charge.A total of [-] infantrymen under the four cities were stepping on the ladder one by one, shouting slogans of rushing and killing, rushing towards the city walls.

On the tower, all the [-] recruits retreated to a safe place. When they saw the tragic scene on the corridor of the tower after the gunpowder was blown up, they were all terrified for a while.If they hadn't retreated just now, at least thousands of people would have been killed or injured in the attack just now.

When the recruits were fortunate enough to retreat quickly enough, the eight thousand veterans of the New First Army's Recruit Division had already rushed out.Although the name is Recruit Division, it is possible that almost all the veterans who join here are veterans of many battles.When they came to the front of the battlements, each of them walked steadily and looked as usual. Obviously, this kind of battle was like a child's play for them, and there were no more disturbances.
