Section 110: Encirclement (1)

Looking at the endless military camps and dense flags outside the city walls, Jiang Bin, who climbed the city, did not show his voice on the surface, but he knew the shock in his heart. The strict camp and the rigorous formation of the rules, it can be seen that the enemy's layout was quite cautious this time. He would rather spend more time than build the encirclement tighter. Li Wufeng probably made up his mind not to let his alone escape.

Jiang Bin's mouth moved slightly, and a wry smile slowly rose. This battle was not easy to fight. He was also a veteran in the Holy Sect Army. Whether it was fighting against the vulnerable imperial guards or the later regular imperial troops during the uprising, Jiang Bin never felt such a great pressure. Judging from the situation of the Buying, the Northwest Army should have at least three to four divisions besieged here. Another unit with different flags and costumes is probably the security division led by Mi Feng who escaped from Lu Long. I heard that although this guy's army's combat effectiveness is not as good as the Northwest Army, it should not be underestimated. There are 100,000 troops, twice as much as he himself. In terms of combat effectiveness, Jiang Bin believes that the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army should be stronger than the troops under his command, and he does not want to deceive himself.

Squinted his eyes and carefully observed the situation of the frontal enemy, Jiang Bin calmly greeted the soldiers guarding the city. These were brothers brought out from the rain of guns and arrows with one step. In terms of loyalty and experience, they are the best choices in the Holy Sect Army. Looking at these brothers who are still energetic and morale in the face of powerful enemies, Jiang Bin slowly let go of his heart. With these brothers who live and die as their support, what should I worry too much? Moreover, although the walls of Lulong Mansion City were low and dilapidated, after his own efforts in the early stage, they were repaired and compensated, and the army's logistics supplies were also replenished, which should be of the ability to fight. Thinking of this, Jiang Bin felt ashamed of the little concern and fear hidden in his heart.

After a while, Jiang Bin quickly determined that the opponent's main attack direction should be the weakest south gate of his city defense fortifications. Although there were quite a few troops surrounded by other gates, Jiang Bin, who was observing at Lao Yu, was still sure that the opponent would point the attack finger at him. The terrain here is low, and the most unfavorable thing is that there is a slightly undulating shallow hill one mile outside the city, which is very suitable as an observation post and command post for the head coach. It turned out that he had the idea of ​​using manpower to eradicate this hill, but the project volume was too large that forced him to give up this idea. It seemed that he was still a little lucky, and he should have made up his mind to wipe it out at that time.

Almost while Jiang Bin was observing the hill, he rode a few horses up the hill under the protection of a group of cavalry. Needless to say, he was definitely an important figure in the other party. He probably came to observe the terrain and prepare for the upcoming battle, just like himself.

Let the whistling mountain wind blow away your hair, and look at the opposite city tower with interest. This is indeed a rare command post. Not only is it conspicuous, but the slope extending northward is very smooth. It can also be used as a hiding place for the strategic reserve team. Putting a cavalry here can effectively prevent the enemy from taking a trump card to raid one of its own siege troops or launch a charge.

The few cavalry following Wufeng were naturally the leaders of several major divisions who were the backbone of this siege. They all looked eager to try, and they even rode their horses and galloped. In front of Wufeng, they were all very proud, for fear that the first battle of the war would fall on other divisions. Even Mulige, who had always been peaceful, could not stand this stimulation and wanted to take credit for the battle.

Turning a blind eye to the performance of his several subordinates, Wufeng was chatting and laughing, but he didn't mention the battle that could already smell the bloody smell. "Look at it, Lulong City is located on a low plain slightly like a basin. Due to its innate shortcomings, the city walls had defects in their early construction, especially the South Gate. The low terrain is very beneficial to the role of our siege tools. This time I equipped everyone with sufficient siege equipment, hoping to use these equipment to effectively reduce the losses of our soldiers. Of course, sacrifice is inevitable, and I don't want to see deserters appear because of fear of sacrifice."

"Don't worry, sir, I believe that our old brothers will not lose face. I just said so much, but sir has never given an order. Which division will take the lead?" What could not be suppressed was Zeppelin. As a security division, being able to upgrade to a regular army has always been his dream hope. The commander had promised before the war that as long as this battle can truly create his own image, he would retain an army division position for the Guide Security Division.

"No hurry, everyone should first get to know the engineering troops assigned to you, strengthen the training of cooperation, and don't cause chaos when going on battle. This is not an exercise, but a price for life. Jiang Bin is not as simple as a rebel. His subordinates are also veterans who have experienced many bloody battles. Never underestimate the enemy. When each unit returns, he must emphasize the importance of cooperation to the bottom. I hope that this Lulong offensive and defensive battle is not just a simple offensive and defensive battle. There is no way out.

The branch will come first, and the officers of other departments must carefully observe, find out the shortcomings, and prepare for their own battles. We will have a longer way to go and fight more battles in the future. Only by constantly summarizing and improving can we stand invincible." Wufeng's words became more and more memorable. The leaders of several divisions had already felt the meaning of the commander's words. This was not a simple battle. It seemed that it was more of a practical exercise for the cooperative combat between infantry and engineers.

As the dull drum beats began to ring in the camp, it indicates that Lu Long's offensive and defensive battle was about to officially open. Seeing that the generals under his seat all looked hopeful on their faces, Wufeng gave an order without expression: "Muliege!"

"I'm here!" A heart finally landed on the ground, and a rare red tide appeared on Mu Lige's face, accompanied by the low sighs of the other people.

"The Third Division will prepare first and launch an attack immediately after the engineers' early strike is over!"

"Subordinate obey the order!" He bowed with his fists and Mulige immediately retreated.

"Sand Wave!"

"I'm here!" He cheered up a little, and Shalang, who was wearing military uniform, also came out to pay tribute.

"The cavalry of the Second Division is ready on both wings and the middle to prevent the enemy from leaving the city to rush out of the city. If there is any mistake, you will only ask!" Wufeng was extremely gentle but not at all resentful.

"Sir, please rest assured!"

"Song Tianxiong!"

"I'm here!"

"The cavalry of the Guard Division cooperated with the Lulong Security Division to monitor the enemy situation in the east, west and north gates. If an enemy army leaves the city, first meet the enemy and report it to us immediately!" Wu Feng's arrangement was in a slight way.

"Zepplin!"

"I'm here!"

"You follow me to watch the battle, and the Guide Guard Division will be repaired and standby!"

"Yes!" Zeppelin's words were already weak.

Taking neat steps, the wide and thick square shields and heavy halberds looked so light in the hands of heavy soldiers of the Gaoyue clan. The light-armed infantry wearing light armor was even more relaxed and relaxed. The round shield and the Pu sword waved as flexible as their arms, shining brightly in the sunshine. Rows of soldiers rushed out of the camp gate and soon gathered into thick squares. The distance between the square teams and the square teams began to move forward to prepare for the battle. The solemn and tense atmosphere before the war was enough to tear the spirit of anyone.

The huge and sturdy crossbow cart began to twist the spring and string tendons as the soldiers danced their arms. The crossbow guns as thick as arms were carefully pressed into the crossbow box by the soldiers. The giant stone casting cart was also arranged in a row. The engineering soldiers began to do the final debugging and ranging. The baggage cart dragged behind was filled with stone bullets, oil bags, sealed phosphorus bags, cigarette pipes, and huge arms in front of the huge throwing box. The bullet box that had not yet been loaded would be like a hideous devil's mouth, looking forward to the beginning of a bloodthirsty battle. The towering arrow tower was like giants, standing upright, looking straight, and the gloomy arrow hole flashed with the darkness of choosing people.

Mang, the soldiers at the battle at the top of the arrow tower were ready to go. For the last time, the Yuecheng car had been pushed forward. The wooden wheels of different sizes under the stairs had been wrapped in the latest research and developed rubber. Not only was the speed and stability greatly improved, but the durability also had a qualitative leap. Teams of infantry followed closely behind and were ready to launch an attack at any time. The huge wound head made of full iron and the wound arm were firmly cast on the crash car. The dark wound head was raised to look up, which was enough to make any city gate daunting.

Looking at the extremely powerful siege equipment gradually approaching the city, Jiang Bin's heart sank involuntarily. He really didn't expect that the other party would have such a powerful lineup. There is no need to say more about the combat power of the soldiers, but looking at the black siege weapons, he could not even fully understand some of the weapons. In this case, how could you hope to defeat the other party? But when you reach this point, there is no other way out. Life and death are here to fight.

He tried his best to suppress his nervous mood. Jiang Bin, who looked as usual, waved his hand to the messenger beside him. The messenger waved his flag and ordered each department to take his place. The rolling wood and rocks like a hill were piled up by pile, and the stone casters were placed on both sides of the city tower and the castle to prevent the opponent from attacking and destroying the attacks and destruction of the opponent's long-range attack weapons. The big iron pot was burning hot, and the churning oil was ready to welcome the enemy. Teams of fire-fighting soldiers carrying sand and soil had already been ambushed everywhere. After seeing the fire attack of the Northwest Army, the Taiping Army was ready to deal with it. Not only did they prepare a lot of sand and soil, but they also demolished all the houses around the city wall to prevent chaos in the city caused by the fire during the battle.

Not fighting unprepared battles is Jiang Bin's creed. Since he wants to fight, he must be prepared for all kinds of worst-case scenarios, especially when facing the Northwest Army, which is even more negligent.
