Chapter 918: Flags Fluttering in Wind and Thunder (1)

After the Ross coalition defeated Yeyu Lake twice, its commander Marquis Jijunev had to reexamine his battle strategy. Earlier, although Marquis Jijunev set the main attack direction to capture Anqueling Castle, the Slave-Breaking Army in Yeyu Lake made Jijunev feel like he was in his throat. He sent a large army to Yeyu Lake twice, but he was defeated by Liu Chong, the general of the Slave-Breaking Army, using his wisdom to defeat the Ross coalition's attack. The continuous failure caused the morale of the Ross coalition. Despite the failure, the Ross coalition's absolute battlefield strength was there, and Jijunev changed the direction of the battle slightly. The Ross coalition, which had already been ready to capture Anqueling Castle, arranged more than 300 three-pound and five-pound artillery groups in Ansanli west of Anque Mountain.

Through the early Battle of Selenhe, Jijunev also knew that his opponent had artillery, and the Possess Army had an old-fashioned crossbow. The performance of these two types of artillery officers was very familiar with the Ross officers, which was also the reason why the Ross placed artillery three miles away from Anqueling. To deal with artillery damage, these Europeans also had great experience in battlefield confrontation. Adding thick earth bags outside the fully enclosed artillery position was the best way to resist artillery attacks. In fact, the European artillery teams were still learned from their enemy, Possessessessed. In the battlefield confrontation, they could always learn new tactics from their opponents. There were sixty Nordic artillery cannons in this artillery battle, and in fact, everyone knew their roles. To put it nicely, everyone was to better preach and trade with the Ming Dynasty Possessed Slave City Xuanwei, and to put it bluntly, they put on a seemingly legal cloak for robbery.

The Europeans' way of thinking is very different from that of the Orientals. They are more suitable for the jungle law of the strong. The Ross coalition and the Nordic coalition have misunderstood Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Slave Army in recent years. In the eyes of these European robbers, the Orientals were too humble. They all hit each other's doorstep. The other party had no intention of taking the initiative to attack except defense. When they sent envoys to trade, they also received an active response from the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. The Pou Slave Army, with strong strategic combat power, only focused on defense and had no enterprising intention to expand its territory. Take the Anquiling Castle that blocked them for example. When the two sides negotiated to define the sphere of influence, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang clearly stated that the Anquiling Castle was used to protect the Ming Dynasty caravan from infringement.

It was gradually built and completed after being recognized by the Ross coalition. The scope of the castle's external patrol was only to the eastern edge of the Anquiling Forest, and never crossed the dividing line drawn by both sides. The current situation of the Ming Dynasty Marquis Zhang An judged that Zhang Ping'an was a peaceful lander, and he still had the opportunity to negotiate as long as he did not over-infringe his interests. Because of this, the European robbers planned to fight and talk, after all, the Battle of the Slave Army was still quite powerful. In the consciousness of the Europeans, any war could be held when it could not continue. When the Ross coalition and the Nordic coalition jointly attacked the Ming Dynasty Marquis Zhang, such a powerful army could not resist it. They believed that a marquis in the Ming Dynasty could not support more than 50,000 troops.

The intelligence on the number of troops in the Po Nu Army also comes from the news given by the Mongolian Lindan Khan Mission a few years ago. The Lindan Khan Mission told the generals of the Ross coalition that the Po Nu Army was not large in addition to its powerful weapons. In Europe, the nobles of various countries support the army based on their own economic strength. Generally, a marquis can support thousands of people. If the troops are tight during wartime, the nobles will draw peasants to serve as soldiers. According to the habit of Europeans raising troops, all the coalition generals incurred the maximum number of soldiers that the Ming Dynasty Marquis Zhang might have. On the front line of the Anqueling Ridge, the army of the Marquis Zhang placed an army of nearly 30,000 people, and the Marquis Zhang's army also had to station the Selen River defense line. The small reconnaissance soldiers of the coalition army had 20,000 left-behind troops in this direction. They unanimously believed that the Ming Dynasty Marquis Zhang had no more combat soldiers.

It is precisely based on this judgment that the commander of the coalition army, Marquis Jijunev, planned to first snatch the Possess Army, which was not easy to escape, and then finally use all the main forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy army in Ye Yahu. The Ross artillery team took a day to enter the position, and the way their artillery positions were placed was very different from that of the Possess Army. The Ross artillery team used the front line to bombard the outermost protective wall of the Possess Army. The European Union artillery team prepared for artillery before the general attack. Their first round of artillery only had a few solid bullets hit the Possess Army's protective wall, and more shells either approached or crossed the protective wall to form a jump in the open area.

The volley of more than 300 artillery fired amazingly, and white smoke filled the battlefield within a radius of several miles. The solid bullets raised several meters of earth pillars in front and behind the Posses' positions with a scream. The wooden artillery mounts used by the European Union artillery team also allowed their artillery to be reloaded again and pushed back into the original position of the artillery. The accuracy of the second round of artillery was much higher, and the solid bullets at high speed attacks bit the gaps in the outer wall of the Anqueling Posses' Army. However, the idea of ​​the coalition generals using 300 artillery pieces of solid bullets to open the battle gaps with solid bullets was a bit naive. Although the accuracy of the artillery shooting was getting higher and higher, it did not cause substantial damage to the outer wall of the Posses' Army.

This is because the outer wall of the Po Slave Army seemed to cut corners when it was tamped with earth. The Po Slave Army's guardrail was not deliberately compacted, causing the enemy's solid bullets to drill into the wall directly. The thick soil made the high-speed flying shells lose the forward kinetic energy. After eight rounds of artillery fire, the Ross gave up this tactic that was very effective in the European battlefield. They could only use the most direct attack tactic. Marquis Jijunev originally planned to use the Turks to attack, but the lack of food made him consider consuming the Mongolian slaves. Anyway, these Mongols bullied the Ross people for more than a hundred years, and they should have to repay the crimes committed by their ancestors. So, Marquis Jijunev ordered the Turks to form a 10,000 supervisory team to supervise 50,000 Mongolian slaves to attack Anqueling Castle.

With Jijiunev's order, 50,000 Mongolians who didn't even have armor were holding swords and shields, divided into hundreds of attacking teams carrying wooden rafts, and long ladders gathered in the west of Anqueling Castle. Jijiunev's tactics were very simple, which was to focus on breaking through a point of the outer wall of the slave army and then develop in depth. Since the opponent had made a move, the six thousand generals of Feijin's division also took their own duties and came to their own command positions. Among them, the vice-president Wei Zhen led 3,000 combat soldiers and 400 shield vehicles to secretly lurking in the second line of defense on the west side. He first sent 600 musket soldiers and 100 shield vehicles to go forward and 70 feet away from the left and right sides of the gate on the west side to hide and standby.

Marquis Jijunev, commanding the high platform far behind, used a monocular telescope to see that his enemy, the Possess Army, was completely silent. Jijunev didn't understand whether his opponent was afraid of his crowds of people. Jijunev, who put down his telescope, waved forward with his right hand with great enthusiasm. Two hundred iron war drums came from under the wooden tower and responded to the shock. Two cavalrymen of the Ross Musket regiments plowed the Turkic army formation and entered the battlefield. The Ross war soldiers were wearing silver plate armor lined with red war jackets and iron helmets, flashing light. The company commander of the team was to hold a long knife and hold an axe and gun in his hand, and a foot-long blue pennant flag fluttered in the wind. The bronze trumpet was blew loudly. More than 10,000 Mongolian slave war soldiers rushed to the Possess Army position two miles away under the Turks.

As Chen Zheng, deputy commander of the Pound Army, expected earlier, the small number of people in the outer guardrail position of the Pound Army was particularly prominent under the enemy's intensive offensive. As usual, the Pound Army used the crossbow cannons on the guardrail for long-range artillery. After all, the crossbow cannons were used for the longest use of the Pound Army. Although the range was not satisfactory, its accuracy was still remarkable. The * was accurately hit on the Mongolian warriors' attack road with blue smoke. The orange-red light waves that were raised instantly ripped apart the formation of the Mongolian warriors, and the blood flowers and minced meat were flying in the sound of explosions. The once thirsty land was moistened for a moment. However, the Pound Army also needed time to load ammunition with a winch, which also caused the subsequent Mongolian offensive team to quickly pass the Pound Army's artillery fire to blockade.

When the Mongolian warriors entered the range of the Boru Army's muskets, the Boru Army's muskets on the guard wall used a dense metal storm to devour the enemy's madness. The shields in the Mongolian warriors were destroyed by the huge kinetic energy of lead bullets. The broken shields represent the distant life of the Mongols behind the shield. The blood holes bursting out on their backs and their drooping heads showed that the weapons in the Boru Army's hands were powerful. At the same time, the artillery that the Ross people covered the attack exploded again, and a solid bullet broke the arm of a Boru Army's gunner through the guard wall. Although the earth bag absorbed most of the energy of the solid shell, it was still not easy to be hit by three-pound shells.

Shortly after the wounded soldiers appeared on the guard wall, two female guards carrying stretchers ran out of the guard wall. Although they were short, they were very flexible in fixing the injured gunner on the stretcher to transport them back. The battlefield artillery would not care whether you were a woman. These two female guards were hit by the enemy's cannon jump. A large piece of the female guard behind them was missing from the back. The guards in front lost their heads. On the stretcher, although the gunners were covered with the blood of the female guards, they were not injured again. At this time, two female guards on the second line of defense ignored the dead compatriots and rushed up again. They had no time to patrol the two guards who were still squirting blood. The wounded soldiers raised and ran away.

At this moment, the Ross coalition had more than 200 artillery fired guns here. The soldiers of the Pou Slave Army near the wall were better, but the thin figures of the two female guards appeared and disappeared from time to time. In order to keep their armor flexible on the battlefield, the guards did not wear armor. From this point of view, their own protection was not even as good as auxiliary soldiers. But today, the female guards of the Japanese soldiers used their lives to save the Pou Slave Army gunners, which won all the soldiers of the personal guard camp.
