"Which two armies are conducting confrontation training?" Zhou Yunfei asked Pang Tong beside him.
It has now reached the last three days of the military exercise, which is the time of the most eye-catching confrontation. [Search for the latest updates here.]
"Lord, the first one to go on stage is the First Army and the Army." Pang Tong replied with a smile.
Zhou Yunfei nodded, then looked at a simple "city wall" built in the distance.
This city wall is entirely composed of wooden logs and standard stones. In a short period of time, the city wall was built about 200 meters long and about 6 meters high.
Despite the short time it took, the city wall was actually not weak at all.
In order to prove to Zhou Yunfei the strength of the city wall, Pang Tong also used a ram to conduct multiple impact tests.
Zhou Yunfei also personally looked around the city wall and found that this simple city wall was no worse than an ordinary stone city wall.
"How long did this wall take?" Zhou Yunfei patted the rough wooden wall with his hand, then turned around and said.
"My lord, it took six hours." An officer in the uniform of the Logistics Department replied respectfully.
Zhou Yunfei raised his eyebrows, "Oh? It only took six hours?"
"Yes, lord." Pang Tong beside him said affirmatively.
Zhou Yunfei smiled, he was very satisfied with the efficiency of the logistics department.
In fact, this has something to do with the soundness of the logistics system.
The construction of this city wall was all standard and was completed by engineers drawn from the army.
The General Staff has long ago studied a series of details about all aspects needed during field wars. Among them is a detailed plan on how to establish a temporary city defense station in the field.
Even, with a series of plans, Dragon City's outdoor war can turn into a defensive war!
This breaks through the inherent thinking of ordinary warfare and supplements the gully warfare that Zhou Yunfei once said.
Zhou Yunfei is very satisfied with this city wall, because it can later show the essence of training, and the two parties that are about to conduct are exercises to defend and siege the city.
After leaving the city wall, Zhou Yunfei came to a high platform not far away.
Just after their group climbed onto the high platform, the First Army responsible for defending the city climbed onto the city wall to make final preparations.
At the same time, soldiers from the Second Army also arrived in the open space not far outside the city wall.
They wore neat armor for defense and carried many large siege engines in their ranks.
Of course, it is impossible for these trebuchets to throw stones directly, but the referee team of the General Staff and the Military Academy, wearing green military uniforms, interspersed between the two camps.
"Shi Yuan, how do you determine whether a soldier was killed or the city wall was damaged?" Zhou Yunfei turned around and said when he saw that both sides were almost ready.
Indeed, in exercises in the era of cold weapons, it was difficult to determine the death of soldiers or the damage of city walls. This is because a soldier still has a certain degree of combat effectiveness after being injured. There are even many examples of many remnants of the army turning defeat into victory with their tenacious will.
.
Therefore, how to judge this exercise has become a more critical issue.
"Lord, both sides used wooden weapons this time, and the weapons were coated with special white dye. According to the previous regulations, as long as the fatal parts of the soldier's body are dyed with white dye or there are more than three white dyes on the body,
It will be judged as death, and the battle will be withdrawn immediately and will not be allowed to continue." Pang Tong took a drill weapon prepared beside him, which was a wooden sword. The tip was completely shaved off and covered with a layer of
Gauze soaked in white dye.
Zhou Yunfei nodded, then saw Pang Tong put down his wooden sword, pointed at the trebuchet in the distance and said: "My lord, the trebuchet did not use real stones, but put light hollow balls made of pine branches of the same volume.
Even if it hits the soldiers, there will be no problem at all. A large amount of dye is applied to the pine branches. As long as the city wall is dyed more than five times within a radius of five meters, it will be judged.
To destroy. If a soldier is hit by the dye of a trebuchet, he will be immediately judged dead and withdraw from the battle."
Although these methods cannot truly win the battle, they are already the most feasible methods under the current conditions. At least in the eyes of the soldiers, this method can limit unexpected adverse situations to the greatest extent.
After both sides are ready, the referees announce the start of the confrontation.
Three hundred meters apart, this distance was very advantageous for the attacking party. The 52nd Army sent 600 soldiers to participate in this confrontation, while the First Army only used 300 soldiers for defense.
From this point of view, it seems that the First Army is at a great disadvantage because the 52nd Army has a lot of command siege equipment, but they are not even equipped with bows, arrows and crossbows!
But even so, there was no trace of frustration or disappointment on the expressions of the soldiers of the First Army standing on the city wall. They looked seriously at the "enemy" pushing the trebuchet forward, and looked quietly.
On the other hand, the 52nd Army advanced slowly, with no expressions on their faces.
Zhou Yunfei watched with great interest. From the time he came to Ross Continent to now, apart from witnessing the ancient war process under the former Mok City, he has never seen a similar battle again. Even the glorious process of the April War
, he only got a glimpse of it from the letters.
Now, he could finally see the combat effectiveness of Longcheng's army more intuitively.
The advancing 52nd Army stopped. According to Pang Tong's explanation, Zhou Yunfei knew that they stopped exactly two hundred meters away.
This distance is a very critical node for the attacker.
The longest range of city defense bows and arrows in Ross Continent is two hundred meters!
Outside this distance, the attacker will not suffer any damage, but once it enters this distance, it means that it will be baptized by the opponent's bow and arrow.
Therefore, Dragon City's army tutorial clearly states many things that the army needs to do at a distance of 200 meters.
For example, large shields used to protect against arrows were removed from logistics equipment vehicles to form a shield wall for the front line. Three soldiers were required to lift these large shields, which weighed over a hundred kilograms.
When the shield is covered, local arrow rain will be reduced to a minimum.
However, it was obvious that the First Army had no ability to hit the advancing 52nd Army, so this process was omitted.
At 200 meters, the five trebuchets in the 52nd Army stopped advancing and separated from the advancing infantry phalanx.
"Prepare to attack!" Lieutenant Lu Ming, commander of the First Battalion of the First Army on the city wall, shouted loudly.
Following his shout, five trebuchets in the distance fiercely smashed the "stones" towards the city wall.
The hollow ball made of "Paki" pine branches obviously could not withstand the strong "city wall", so it naturally fell into pieces. However, it also left a large trace of white flowers on the city wall.
There was even a "stone" that hit the aisle at the top of the city wall. Three soldiers of the First Army were "killed" in this air raid. They were judged to have died on the spot by the referee, and they immediately left the city wall.
The soldiers of the First Battalion of the First Army were obviously prepared for the trebuchet attack. They crouched and huddled behind the walls. Then they were divided into groups of three, and one of the soldiers was specially designed to observe the trebuchet.
The direction of the thrown stones will remind the soldiers around you to avoid them.
According to the regulations of the exercise, the trebuchet can only throw a total of fifty "stones" for ten rounds. So the throwing of the trebuchet ended soon.
And the city wall has become a big painted face with white spots.
In these ten rounds of throwing, a total of two First Army soldiers were killed. From this aspect, it can also be seen that the First Army was able to respond to the trebuchet attack very well and minimize its own losses.
After losing the blow from the trebuchet, the soldiers of the 52nd Army began to prepare to attack the city wall.
They carried out several ladders and a special truck.
This type of cart is almost the same height as the city wall, and is pushed forward by soldiers at the bottom of the cart. On the top of the cart, there are pallets that can be lowered, allowing soldiers to rush directly to the city wall. However, this kind of cart is
One disadvantage is that almost all of them are made of wooden materials, so they are obviously very afraid of the opponent's fire attack.
Therefore, in the army, there is a strong resistance to this type of carriage. At least with the presence of trebuchets and large crossbows, a direct impact on the city wall will easily cause huge casualties.
Since Zhou Yunfei cherishes his own troops very much, this stupidest and most barbaric method of attacking the city wall has always been a backup method among the Dragon City army.
Perhaps, only the 52nd Army would come up with such a method to attack. They were all soldiers from the original Five Northern Fortresses of Byvost. Even General Anthony was a man forged in blood and fire.
They will not be afraid of so-called casualties. For the sake of victory, these casualties can be tolerated.
In previous battles with orcs, the death ratio between humans and orcs was often as high as ten to one!
In other words, the lives of ten human soldiers can be exchanged for the death of one orc. But even so, as long as the orc invasion is repelled, they will be the winner.
Zhou Yunfei watched the actions of the 52nd Army with great interest. They chose the most direct way to climb the city wall, and their opponent was the First Army!
The First Army is a veritable rock, the rock of Dragon City, and the army that Zhou Yunfei is most assured of.
From the army commander Xu Sheng to the most ordinary soldiers below, they all have the kind of character that can do things but not speak. But don't think that they can't be passionate. This kind of silent passion is the most terrifying. Look at the previous traps.
Come on! Who dares to say they are weak!
Therefore, this time the 52nd Army uncharacteristically chose the most direct way to attack the defense line held by the First Army. On the one hand, it proved its unyielding character that is not afraid of the reputation of the First Army, and at the same time, it also made the First Army feel their
determination!
Zhou Yunfei admires this character who dares to show his sword very much!
"Shi Yuan, after the military exercise is over, please transfer the 52nd Army to the Acropolis." Zhou Yunfei said calmly when he saw the two armies fighting together.
Pang Tong smiled slightly, it seemed that even if the 52nd Army lost this game, they would still have new opportunities.
