Chapter 29 Serial Killing (2)
Standing between the battlements of the city walls and looking down, bursts of black smoke were still shrouded under the entire city wall, which looked a little scattered, but the lethality and deterrence caused to the enemy made Wenna truly feel the horror of the guys in the Science and Technology Development Department for the first time. This is no longer a simple massacre, it is simply a slaughter, it is just a witness to how the barbecue feast was made, but the object of the barbecue became Machikhan soldiers, with the burnt smell mixed with a stench, spreading around the city. Wenna has allowed all government officials to participate in preventing the epidemic. If this weather really makes the plague spread, I am afraid that it will bring more than just war and destruction to the entire Legon, but may even be completely destroyed.
The initial shock and fear on the faces of the soldiers on the city wall gradually faded as the war became more and more intense. In the past few days, they had seen too much life and death, so they gradually adapted to the cruelty of the war. However, Winner believed that the tragic and horror experienced by this picture was enough to make them unforgettable for life. The fire dragon cannon was developed as an epoch-making defensive weapon. Whether it was a good or a bad thing for Western Xinjiang. Winner felt that it was still to be discussed. The damage caused by this weapon to the attacking party was no longer possible.
To be simply described in words, if such weapons are equipped in all aspects, they will probably bring unprecedented trouble to the attacking party. Especially the ambition revealed by His Highness King Qin will never just stay in the land of the empire. The empire is just a stepping stone and a platform for him. The entire Eastern Continent will crawl at his feet, and even the Central Continent, Wen Na narrowed his eyes slightly. Perhaps he and his colleagues will witness and participate in this feat that shocked the past and the present.
The combat effectiveness of the Maqi Khans was also shown in this battle. Winner wanted to admit that if the Fourth Legion fought with the opponent in the field, he would not be able to gain any advantage. Fortunately, he had a defensive advantage and had a weapon like the Fire Dragon Cannon as an auxiliary, allowing the Maqi Khans to deeply understand the power of a new weapon. However, the Maqi Khans' numerical advantage and their tenacity in will make up for their shortcomings. The Fire Dragon Cannon did cause huge losses to the Maqi Khans in the early stage, but as the war progressed, the Maqi Khans also came up with some ways to resolve and reduce the lethality of the Fire Dragon Cannon, such as dispersing attacks, soaking the outer coat, and even using thick wet quilts to suppress the burning tincture oil. However, these can only reduce losses, but cannot avoid losses. They can only deal with it with a more crazier attack, and only by conquering Legon City as soon as possible can they avoid such a catastrophe that they may encounter at any time.
The banks of Kunlun Lake became the central focus of the war. Given that the fire dragon cannons in the city wall attack and defense war were too fierce to kill Maqihan's soldiers, the Maqihans also decisively adjusted their deployment to focus the attack on Kunlun Lake. Although in the early stage, the ships along the lake had been burned out, and the bamboo forests along the lake had become natural raw materials for rafting. Within three days, thousands of bamboo rafts were completed, and thousands of boats competed, and the two sides staged a bloody battle on Kunlun Lake again.
However, in response to the weakness of Kunlun Lake's defense, Wenna also focused on the defense here. Without the support of the Fire Dragon Cannon, the place could only rely on the advance arrangement and the tenacity of the soldiers to fight against the impact of the Maqikhans. It should be said that the reminder from the imperial capital has won a valuable opportunity to deal with the defense of Laigong. Although the entire Kunlun Lake's defense line could not be built as solid and perfect as the city wall, Wenna still tried to build more than 100 defensive platforms along the Kunlun Lake's lake in the shortest time. This platform was either made of wood and stone structures, or was directly built with soil on the spot. It was rough and simple but quite practical. Each platform was equipped with three or five crossbows, or one or two medium-sized catapults, or directly equipped with a team of Gaoyue javelin pitchers. Gaoyue militia from the peninsula became the most important supplementary force of the Fourth Legion.
Every charge from the other side always makes Wen Jie feel hung up. The Maqikhans' sacrificial charge was also shown in the water offensive. Although it is obvious that they are not good at surface combat, the huge double-layer bamboo rafts still provide them with a relatively stable attack platform. The huge bamboo rafts stand up and become a natural shield. It is difficult to break through the protective barrier formed by this earthen shield, whether it is a gun or a crossbow arrow. The mistake at this point has cost the Western Xinjiang side a considerable price.
In addition to the threat of the scattered rafts, the others could only watch the bamboo raft slowly approaching the lakeshore. A large number of Maqihan soldiers rushed to the lakeshore with the help of this earthen shield, but their good luck could only end there. The intricate high platform attacks fully played their role in the commanding heights. Each wave of crossbow arrow attacks or javelin launches can always contain the most fierce shock waves, and can always bring a help for the most dangerous place on their defense line.
There was no escape passage for the four-meter-high platform, which means that it also gave the guards the order of death to be in the position. This local high platform also brought great trouble to the Maqihan soldiers. If the bare walls were not climbed without climbing tools, it would be impossible to climb up, unless the ladder was set up, but this undoubtedly gave the other party a chance to massacre. It was obviously not cost-effective to pay such a large price to seize a platform. But if these high platforms were not captured, they would not cause any damage to the Maqihan soldiers who had already broken through the defense line and bravely moved forward. It can be seen that even Pu Tiancheng had to admit that coming up with this idea after the war did cause great trouble to his side, and even became a key node in the Battle of Laigong and even the entire Peninsula Battle.
The Maqi Khan did have a smooth breakthrough in the first line of Kunlun Lake. It was not estimated that the Maqi Khan used bamboo platoons as defensive shields to effectively reduce the possible damage through the Kunlun Lake surface, which made the Maqi Khan attack waves smoothly enter the melee stage. At this time, the Maqi Khan's numerical advantage was fully demonstrated. Although the Western Xinjiang side also made quite sufficient preparations on the lakeshore, they had to rely on simple infantry defense lines to resist the enemy's charge in the face of the influx of Maqi Khan.
This is a battle of fate that concerns the lives and deaths of the people of Laigong City and the lives of the Laigong people. Although the Maqikhans who were determined to win were shouting and shouting, holding up weapons and weapons, rushed up to the shore and fought with the Western Xinjiang infantry who were waiting for battle. The Western Xinjiang soldiers also wanted to sacrifice themselves to kill one and kill two. The two sides launched an unprecedentedly tragic battle on the wet low ground on the lakeshore. The Maqikhans continued to transport soldiers to the beachhead positions that had been captured, and Winna did not have time to regret his mistakes. They could only push all the reserves, either press the Maqikhans back to the lake, or they could only let the Maqikhans break through this line of defense and sit idly by watching the fall of Laigong, and there was no other choice.
The two revolns of Mulige left for Winner, Gao Yue militia, once again played a crucial role in this battle.
Although this Gaoyue militia made great contributions in the battle of the peninsula, it did not win the final recognition for their embarrassing identity. In this sensitive area of the peninsula, in order to avoid further complexity of ethnic relations, even the establishment of two security divisions had to consider the balance of all aspects of the ethnic group. The Gaoyue tribe has always been unpopular in the peninsula area. The idea of more than 10,000 Gaoyue militias to transform into regular troops in the Western Xinjiang was soon shattered, and the opinions of occupying the security division were also opposed by all ethnic forces in the peninsula area. However, to let Mulige give up this group of Gaoyue militias will not only lose its credibility, but Mulige is unwilling to do that from the bottom of his heart.
Under such circumstances, the emperor was far away, and His Highness the King of Qin and the people from the Military Affairs Office were still unable to take it into consideration for a while. After discussing with Zhong Wenjing and Jin Ning, Mulige and Wenna worked together as the commander of the Navy Lei Cangpu, and finally adopted a bold method of adaptation, which was to recruit migrant workers in the name of building East Samoa and Moro and the later Ludao military port, and left these Gao Yue militias as migrant workers, but secretly formed a regular force in the form of a reserve army in the peninsula area, and everything was carried out according to regular army training.
OK, just waiting for the right time to get recognition. Of course, this small move cannot be hidden from the security department and the Military Affairs Office. Diao Su informed the Military Affairs Office after confirming that this was just a work-around measure rather than a conspiracy. Bo Jinchen, who was temporarily in charge of the work in the Military Affairs Office, had already appreciated the loyalty and combat effectiveness of Gao Yue's soldiers, so he simply gave the green light on this matter. He even allocated 300,000 gold coins from the extra-budget expenditure of the Military Affairs Office to resolve this batch of Gao Yue's militia equipment, which also laid the foundation for Bo Jinchen to win the friendship between Mulige and Wenna in the future.
When the two sides who had completely lost their minds on the lakeside wetland battlefield entered the most cruel stalemate, Wen Na personally led the Gaoyue militia of two regiments to join the battlefield on Kunlun Lake despite his age, which put a not-so-perfect end to this three-hour battle for the beachhead. The addition of more than 8,000 new forces and the commander personally took the battle, finally caused the Western Xinjiang army to burst out with unprecedented passion, allowing the Maqikhan to retreat half a step, but the bamboo raft had been used up but had not had time to return to transport the soldiers again. Maqikhan's side finally retreated into the lake under the pressure of almost one pool of blood on the other side, leaving with extreme unwillingness.
On that day, the water on the banks of Kunlun Lake was like blood, and corpses were everywhere.
