Chapter 98 Night Attack
As the name suggests, heavy armored soldiers are a group of infantry wearing heavy armor and arming themselves like cans of iron.
They wore heavy armor weighing fifty kilograms, holding thick-backed steel knives or battle axes with strong lethality. On this battlefield where thermal weapons have not yet been fully popular, they are equivalent to the god of death who harvests life.
Fearless and irresistible.
Even in the eyes of some generals who advocate heavy armor, the ability to block and limit heavy armor infantry on the battlefield is not the enemy, but the physical strength.
"If it weren't for the excessive equipment that these heavy armored soldiers could only fight on the battlefield for more than a minute, they would be enough to sweep the battlefield and defeat any opponent."
The generals who advocate the heavy armor battles are like this.
Therefore, when a total of 200 strong men in heavy armor appeared on the city wall, it seemed like there was a wall made of steel on the city wall, which was very strict and majestic and unstoppable.
Then, facing nearly 100 Mao troops who firmly occupied a large area on the city wall, these people adopted the simplest and most effective offensive method in daily life.
He immediately carried the heavy weapon in his hand and crushed the Mao army like a wall.
Then, the fight... no, it should be said that it was a nearly one-sided massacre, and it happened like this.
Faced with this iron canned food that was armed to the teeth, the Mao troops on the city wall had no way to resist it.
The weapons in their hands will not cause any damage unless they hit joints without armor protection. However, because the enemy holds thick-backed steel knives and battle axes, they can easily cut down the Mao army.
Just as he raised his hands and fell, it was as simple as killing a chicken and a sheep.
Therefore, after only a moment of fighting between the two armies, the Mao army completely lost its will to fight.
They subconsciously chose to retreat and gave up the area they had finally occupied. Then, under the pressure of the enemy, the situation of collapse became out of control.
At this time, the soldiers of the Mao army were chopped down like they were cutting leeks. Even to the end, some frightened people would rather jump off the city wall than face these heavy armored soldiers like the god of death.
Therefore, after thousands of casualties, Mao's attack today turned into a bubble.
As the supreme leader of the army, watching the sunset in the distance, no matter how unwilling she was, Mao Zhengliang had to yell the gold and withdraw his troops. Amid the cheers of Tian Jun, he withdrew his troops from the tent again.
But all this happened at this time was unknown to the grain transport team dozens of miles away.
At this time, they just followed the previous plan, under the protection of the army, and carried a large amount of food and grass along the canal through manpower and animal power to the south.
Then, as the sun was about to set, the grain transport team where Chen Mingyu, a thousand households of the gun army, found a wide open area to camp and set up camp in amid the greetings, preparing to set off again the next morning.
...
"General, at our speed, we will be able to arrive at the camp the day after tomorrow. Then we will rest for half a day and return to continue to carry food for the big camp. Alas, I don't know when this trip will be shipped."
Putting the truck carrying grain outside and simply setting up a tent, a hundred households under Chen Mingyu who were eager to make achievements could not help but complain to Chen Mingyu.
But for these gun army generals, they were eager to show their skills on the battlefield.
Moreover, their desire is far beyond that of other troops of the Mao army.
Because compared with other troops of the Mao Army, the Gun Army, as an emerging unit, hopes to prove itself on the battlefield, and then grasp the world's view of the Gun Army, and no longer regard them as an optional useless army.
To put it bluntly, it’s like a child who has gotten a new toy, and he always has the idea of showing off in front of his playmates.
As a grassroots general, the officials of the hundreds of households thought so. As a middle-level officer, Han Mingyu naturally had a stronger idea. After all, in addition to being a gun army, Han Mingyu was also the son of Han Xi, the provincial Privy Councillor.
With such a background, his idea of proving his abilities is naturally particularly strong.
However, Han Mingyu knew better that before showing off, he must do his part.
So after the officials of the households finished speaking, Han Mingyu couldn't help but look at the man and said, "I know, you all hope to show your skills on the battlefield. To be honest, I have such a mood, and I understand you very much.
But don't forget that we are also soldiers. As soldiers, we must obey orders. The king ordered us to transport food and grass and entrust us with such important things that are related to success or failure. We will naturally be worthy of the king's entrustment.
Do this for the king wholeheartedly and put all our energy on it, instead of thinking about what is there all day long. In such a big battle, there will always be a chance for us to show our skills.
But before that, we should do our own things and be prepared before the crisis comes. Only in this way can we not let the opportunity slip away from our eyes. Do you understand?"
"Yes, the general taught me a lesson, and my subordinates understand."
Hearing Han Mingyu's words, the hundreds of households nodded repeatedly.
Han Mingyu was right. If he couldn't even do his own things well, he would be even more vain if he showed his skills.
Therefore, the officials of all households did not complain anymore, but started to do their own things after dinner, inspected the camp and maintained their weapons. Soon, after working hard all day, they returned to the camp to go to bed.
It was not until more than two hours later that it was the most sleepy and ugly moment for ordinary people. But at this time when everything should be silent and silent, a wave of water from Dongping Lake, several miles away, suddenly came from the sound of ships sailing on the lake.
Then, after looking closely with the not-so-bright moonlight in the sky, I couldn't help but find that nearly a hundred boats emerged on this wide Dongping Lake.
And on this boat, there were a total of 5,000 fully armed soldiers and soldiers.
Under the cover of night, these people held steel swords, spears, strong crossbows and strong bows, holding their breath and concentrating their faces fiercely. It was obviously the brave group who planned to launch a night attack.
Such a group of people suddenly appeared on the shore of the lake. What is the so-called thing? Naturally, it is unknown.
Yes, they just came to do a sneak attack.
However, after having accurate information from the Feng brothers, in order to ensure the success of the matter, An Enhui, as the official of Wanhu, reinforced three thousand soldiers.
These people were led by Deputy Wanhu Lu Wei and took over the command of the matter from the Feng brothers. Then, tonight, when the moon was about to be covered by dark clouds, they decisively launched a night attack.
