Chapter 27 Finding a General
The early morning wind blew up the smell of blood on the battlefield and the smell of explosions that had not completely dissipated on the battlefield, and the old empress dowager of the Kingdom of Granada, who had been watching the battle since yesterday morning. When the fog dissipated, the result of the battle in the middle of the night was fully displayed in front of her.
Whether it was the people in the city or Zhao Fubo's camp, when they saw this cruel battlefield from the scattered fog, the corpse of dead bodies almost covered the earth. About the general who protected the country was worried that his nearly 20,000 troops would be insufficient, and he would concentrate on a narrow bottom to attack with all his strength. This was not a wrong choice, because if he took advantage of the night to approach the enemy camp, the whole army would then launch together. I believe that as long as the wall was broken through, the people in front of him would not pose any threat, after all, their number would be much smaller.
However, no one expected that the attack of thousands of shells would cause such a cruel scene. Near the explosion points of the shells, there were lying corpses in large numbers. Especially the 100mm projectiles fired by the "grenade launcher" behind them, filled with TNT explosives. The power of these projectiles was much greater than that of gunpowder. Just like the 105mm projectiles of the German army on the Western Front battlefield in France in 1914, how powerful was it after one shot.
The attack of the 100mm "Grenade Launcher" projectile made the corpses that fell to the ground missing their arms and legs. Unlike the attack of the "Reincarnation Cannon", although the killing power is also very strong, the corpses are at least intact.
A further away on the battlefield were several stone throwers. Obviously, the one that threatened the soldiers in Zhao Fubo's camp last night was these stone throwers. And I have to admire that the guy who commanded the battle at night tomorrow and the next night was really a natural artillery embryo.
"Sophia, go and ask, who was the official star last night?"
The latter obviously knew what he meant and smiled with a pursed lips. It seemed that she had discovered a general for her husband, and she was proud.
"No need to ask, it was someone who applied for my consent!"
"Is that so? Who is it? I performed well last night, so I should have seen him!"
While he was talking, a sound of roar sounded. This was a signal of the shift change of the star officer. Zhao Fubo saw a guy flexibly coming down from the mailbox. He was not always cautious when he was up and down from the mailbox like others. This guy almost half-run and half-jumped down.
"I don't need to call me, he will arrive soon!"
When the man soon came to Zhao Fubo, he was surprised to find that this guy was not an army officer.
"This Wenxiang, I didn't expect this guy to have some skills. It's worth it that Commander Zhang kept recommending it to me!"
Zhao Fubo nodded with satisfaction when he looked at Wen Xiang who came to him and had no energy for a night without any indifference. Moreover, he was also a young man, and it was impossible for him to pretend to be serious for too long.
"I had good command last night. How did you ever think about leaving the Navy?"
Wen Xiang was shocked. When he saw the results of his command last night this morning, he was also shocked. Previously, he used a simple rangefinder to measure the other party's position based on the other party's two waves of stone bullets. In his opinion, such arrangement was just a risk. He even had his subordinates use light signals to contact Ye with the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" in the other three directions. If it was not suppressed for the first time, he would order to carry out continuous strikes.
As for the subsequent arrangement, it was simple. Although he faced the thick fog like Zhao Fubo and others, the good thing was that his position was much higher, and it could be seen farther and clearer from there. Especially the fire ignited by the first wave of "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" attack, the air nearby flowed. As for the reason, Wen Xiang didn't know, but if he had studied high school courses, he would understand. It was because the fire required a lot of oxygen, which caused the flow of nearby air. At the same time, the hot air would also form an upward air flow.
The flow of air made the thick fog disperse through the gap, and Wenxiang saw the number of enemy troops behind through the gap. He was shocked at the time. He did not expect that the enemy generals did not make any assignments, but just charged together. Of course, in such a thick fog, if he faced such an enemy, he would do the same.
Even if the person in the front is killed, the person behind will always have the opportunity to climb over those low-high walls. As long as you can rush in and seize the opponent's portal, relying on the number of people, the battle will be won.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Xiang arranged a intensive grenade attack, as well as a subsequent intensive **** and musket attack. In these two attacks alone, they caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the other party. After all, when everyone was crowded, a grenade could blow down one piece. When everyone was crowded, **** didn't need to aim at it at the group and shoot continuously.
If you suppress the opponent's charge, the subsequent things will naturally be easier. The "reincarnation cannon" that has been prepared long ago and the "grenade launcher" shared by the Yulin Army and musketeers of the Song Dynasty can fire the most densely covered shooting in the world. There is nothing simpler than this. Faced with this dense crowd, the explosion and damage of the covered shells has been maximized.
This even scared the enemy troops attacking behind, especially the National Protection General who was supervising the battle near the stone thrower at that time, was burned to death under the attack of the first wave of "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbows", and the survivors lost all their attacks. Moreover, they were afraid of returning to the city and being punished by the Queen Mother, and at the same time they probably had no face to see her again, so the defeated soldiers fled to the distance. This was also the reason why the old Queen Mother of Granada, who had been watching over the city of the capital of Granada Kingdom, did not receive the news until the morning.
"Sir, don't be a navy? This..."
Speaking of which, Wen Xiang was really reluctant to part with the Navy, and he had the kindness of Zhang Qing as a wise man. If he didn't stay in the Navy, he would be a little too unfriendly. Seeing him hesitating, Zhao Fubo didn't want him to decide now. After all, organizing the Marine Corps is a matter of the future.
"Don't worry, you can think slowly. Where I want you to go is not to leave the navy. I think you should know that we will organize a Marine in the future, so..."
Wen Xiang heard that it was exactly the military position he thought of. Although he was reluctant to leave the warships, it was an independent army after all. Especially in the future, if he opened up territory for the Song Dynasty, he would naturally be even more vanguard!
"Yes, sir, think about it!"
