At this time, Beiping City has been built by Wan Lei into an isolated city that cannot be entered or exited. What happened at the court, whether reinforcements will come, and when they will come, no one in the city knows these things. They only know that if they want to
If you want to survive, you must defend the city. When the city is there, people will be there; if the city is gone, people will perish.
Based on this understanding, those residents who had not actively joined the army to defend the city also put down their livelihoods and joined the army. The new army continued to expand, and now has more than 60,000 people, plus the 70,000 people in the city.
People, the current strength is 130,000.
However, such a large number of troops is still obviously insufficient. Not only is the number insufficient, but the training is also insufficient. The enemy is also continuing to increase its troops. Judging from the companies and camps a few miles outside the city, there are at least 100,000 people. God knows what will happen next.
How many follow-up troops there are? In short, Beiping City will become a huge duel ground, and the defenders will have no other choice but to engage in trapped beasts.
In the early morning of this morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The sun seemed to be tired of watching the endless life-and-death struggle of human beings, so it hid behind the dark clouds. Under the dim morning light, Wan Lei walked slowly on the New Military Academy ground with his cane in hand.
, in front of him were 30,000 new troops ready to go.
Although they are poorly trained, the faces of these people are full of perseverance. They already firmly believe that under the leadership of the most strict and fair Mr. Wan, they can repel any enemy.
"What is the purpose of our army?" Wan Lei asked sharply.
"Defend the home and the country!" tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, resounding throughout the sky.
"What is our goal?"
"Swear to defend the city to the death! People in the city will die and people will die in the city!"
"Okay, very good. Now we divide into four teams and go to the four sides of the city to help defend the city. Remember, all the soldiers who defend the city will kill the enemy bravely. Once the battle begins, it will be a deadly battle! When the battle begins, no matter what the army's precedence is.
Those who retreat will be killed immediately! When approaching battle, if the army ignores the generals and retreats first, the rear team will kill the front team! Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be too timid to fight and will not be killed without mercy!"
Hearing these murderous words, everyone had a deeper understanding of Mr. Wan. He was a strong-willed, decisive and stern battlefield commander. On the cruel battlefield, the weak cannot survive. Only the most stoic,
Only the strong and resolute can survive and win the final victory.
Mr. Wan is such a strong man!
Where Mr. Wan is, they must win! With this firm belief, the sergeants quickly divided into four teams and headed towards the Sifang City. There, they would face the most brutal baptism of fire. In the end, they would be reborn from the ashes or walk through the fire.
Nirvana can only be known after hard work.
The new army took away 30,000 people at once, and the remaining 40,000 new soldiers were still training hard on the school grounds, because they knew that it would be their turn to go into battle tomorrow. Whether it was sharpening their weapons before the battle or cramming in, it was better than doing nothing.
Be stronger.
"General Zhou, I want to select 400 Kongwu warriors from the New Army." Wan Lei said to Zhou Qianhu, who succeeded Li Yuan as the chief instructor of the New Army.
"Mr. Wan, please wait a moment. The general will go and do the work right away." Zhou Qianhu went to do the work without saying a word, because he knew that although Wan Lei was only a small postmaster, he was now popular, and tens of thousands of new troops were there.
He was the one who summoned me. Of course I can't show off to others at this time, let alone offend them.
What does Wan Lei want 400 Kongwu warriors for? Of course it has another purpose. He plans to create a fire-headed army for emergency purposes. Of course, this fire-headed army is not the other fire-headed army. This fire-headed army is not responsible for cooking.
But he is responsible for setting fire to the living people,
To be precise, this fire-headed army is a fire-breathing army. It uses "injectors" to spray kerosene on the enemy's body, and then sets fire to burn the Tatars. These injectors were built overnight by Wan Lei with a blacksmith last night. The principle
It is the same as the pesticide sprayer commonly used by farmers. The only difference is that the kerosene can is not carried on the body, but placed on the ground for people to carry and push. Therefore, in addition to a fireman, there must be an assistant.
personnel.
Wan Lei asked for 400 sergeants, and each group of ten people was divided into forty squads. Each squad was assigned an injector. These ten people divided the work and cooperated. Some were responsible for releasing pressure and spraying kerosene, some were responsible for setting fires, and some were responsible for carrying shields for protection.
In short, there is offense and defense, and ten people form an independent combat unit.
The task of the Huotou Army is not to main attack, but to assist in defense. Wherever the defense is tight, they will appear there to help the defenders tide over the crisis. After all, Wan Lei does not have much kerosene left in his hand, and there are probably two or three more.
Of course, good steel must be used on the blade.
Just as Wan Lei was training the Huotou Army, another loud drum beat came from outside the city. Needless to say, the enemy army launched another offensive. Without saying a word, Wan Lei immediately divided the Huotou Army into four teams and assigned them to
The surrounding cities helped defend the city, and he himself led a team of 100 people to the north city to assist in the battle.
The North City Pool is facing the enemy camp. Once the two armies start fighting, it will become the fiercest battlefield. Therefore, Tie Xuan eats and sleeps on the North City Tower. The army chief Li Yuan also sits here to command, and the troops stationed on the top of the city
, they are also the most powerful 10,000 soldiers selected from thousands of people. They are not only the best equipped, but also the most powerful in military appearance.
Ten thousand soldiers may seem like a lot, but if they are spread over several miles of long city walls, the number of troops is still a little tight. Fortunately, Beiping City was originally the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the city walls are high and thick. Although they have been baptized by wars for a long time, many of them are damaged, but they are nothing more than airs.
Still, the brick city wall, which is more than ten meters high and several meters thick, is not easy to break through.
However, this time the Yan army dispatched a powerful siege weapon - Lu Gong's chariot. When Wan Lei led his people to the Beicheng Tower, the battle had already begun. Under the cover of countless arrows and feathers, dozens of Lu Gong's chariots as tall as a city were attacking.
Driven by human power, it slowly approached the city head.
Don't underestimate these wooden frame-like things. They are more than ten meters high, divided into upper and lower layers, wrapped in cowhide, and contain hundreds of enemy troops. This kind of thing is more disgusting than a Trojan horse, because once it annexes the city
If it succeeds, the enemy troops can pass through it and pour into the city in a steady stream.
Li Yuan, who was commanding the battle on the spot, had the qualities of a general. He did not panic at all when he saw these large wooden frames. He directed the shield soldiers to form a shield array in front of several forts and hold up the arrow feathers flying up from below. At the same time,
The gunner quickly aimed the muzzle at Lu Gong's car.
"Fire artillery!" Li Yuan gave the order, and dozens of artillery pieces fired in unison, each hitting the approaching Lu Gong's car.
Unfortunately, the accuracy of the artillery was really poor, and many of the guns missed. This round of salvos only succeeded in destroying seven Lu Gong vehicles. Although the remaining five were damaged to varying degrees, they were still able to move.
It was approaching the city head like a wild bull.
Since the artillery is a front-loading cannon, before loading the ammunition, you need to put out the sparks with a can of water, wipe it with a dry cloth, and then fill it with gunpowder and load the slugs. A few minutes have passed since this set of procedures was completed, and Lu Gong's car has been successfully attached.
City, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops swarmed to the top of the city and fought hand to hand with the defenders at the top of the city. The offensive and defensive battle suddenly turned into a hand-to-hand battle.
The new soldiers who cooperated with the defenders did not retreat timidly. However, due to lack of training, they were hacked and killed by the enemy. Hundreds of people were hacked to death and wounded. As more enemies rushed up, even the defenders were attacked.
The army resisted desperately, but the gap on the top of the city was still getting bigger and bigger. The enemy was approaching the forts, trying to destroy the artillery on the top of the city.
"Hold your position! Anyone who retreats will be killed!" Li Yuan drew his sword and joined the nearest battle formation with his own soldiers.
"Brothers, come on together, the city is standing and people are dying in the city!" A new army commander raised his arms and took the lead in charging forward. All his subordinates raised their spears and kept stabbing at the enemies.
When he was hit, he went down to the city and quickly wiped out dozens of enemies, reducing the enemy's formation back to a few meters.
There were many Tatars among the enemy, and they were not blocked. Under the cover of some hand-axemen, they opened their bows and fired arrows everywhere. Many defenders were unable to dodge and were hit by arrows. However, the defenders were not timid and still did not want to
They raised their spears to stab people and slashed them with their swords. Some soldiers who were unfortunate enough to be hit by arrows casually broke off the arrow feathers and still charged forward, as if the arrows had not hit them...
While they were fighting to the death to attack the city, they were also fighting to defend the city to the death. In short, everyone was going crazy!
