Chapter 701 The Music of Killing 3
People are always afraid of the unknown. Even the strongest soldiers are no exception. The only difference is control. The brave can turn fear into motivation, while the coward will only be crushed by fear. Obviously, those who can serve as a ranger are quite bold and brave, not only the Tang army. The same is true of the Great Food Army. Although the dozen sentries were very nervous, they still bravely broke into the valley, but the queue was very open. In groups of three, two people held knives and shields, one bent bows and arrows, and the cover for each other was also quite in place.
Dead silence, a faction of dead silence, except for the sound of horses' hoofs, there is no sound in the valley road. The cliff next to the road is quiet, as if no one is on it, and on the ruins at the mouth of the valley, the Tang officers and soldiers who have already occupied the favorable terrain are not in a hurry to do it. They all lie behind the hidden objects and stare quietly. The riders slowly approached.
The valley road is not long. It is only more than a hundred feet straight, but it is more than ten feet wide. On one side is a steep cliff, and on the other side is the rapid Amu River. The cliff blown down by the Tang army is not at the front of the mouth of the valley, but close to the center, less than 60 feet away from the valley, even if there are many large No matter how slow the speed of the food guard is, there is not much to linger. In just a cup of tea, dozens of riders have reached only 20 feet in front of the ruins.
"Fire!"
Twenty feet is already a dangerous distance. If it is closer, the bows and arrows in the hands of the Dashiyou sentry can threaten the safety of the Tang officers and soldiers. Lu Sansheng, who had already run to the first row to supervise the battle, did not dare to delay any more and roared and issued an order.
"Oh, no, no..."
As early as the time of the big food tour sentry marched into the valley road, the guns in the hands of the first platoon of officers and soldiers had been aimed for a long time. Hearing the order from the commander of his regiment, he was not very polite. He pulled the trigger in his hand one after another. A burst of fried bean-like gunshot, and the smoke rolled up, and the bullets were like a locusts. The horse swept over. At such a close distance, the white robe and light armor on the poor food whistle were like paper, and they could not provide much defense. For a moment, the first six or seven riders had howled and fell off the horse. When the rest saw this, they panicked and didn't have time to explore any more. They hurriedly turned the horse. First, he fled in panic and attracted a platoon of gun chase from the first row of soldiers. At the end, only the three riders narrowly escaped from the sky.
"Stop shooting, come on, and then dig fortifications!"
Lu Sansheng did not intend to leave all the patrol sentry at all, nor did he intend to expose his firepower. As soon as he saw that the enemy had come out of the valley road, he immediately shouted and suppressed the impulse of the soldiers to annihilate the remnant enemy.
The First Division of the Army is the most advanced army in modern times. Although the rear-mounted gun cannot be compared with the automatic semi-automatic rifles of later generations, it also lacks machine guns and other covering killing weapons, but there is no shortage of artillery, infantry shovels, bayonet, large grenades and other equipment, especially the infantry shovel, which is completely imitating the equipment of the German army of later generations, although steel There is a slight lack of material quality, but it is still very easy to use. However, under Lu Sansheng's order, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion immediately moved together. Hundreds of infantry shovels waved up and down, and soon built the prototype of firepower fortifications on the ruins...
"Report, Mr. Governor, the Gukou Cliff has been destroyed by the Tang people, and the road is blocked. There are also Tang troops guarding it. The weapons used are very powerful, long tube-shaped, extremely loud, and the shooting is a pointed iron ball. The shooting speed is extremely fast, which is difficult to see with the naked eye. There are 18 people in our department. Only three people can return it. The details are like this. Please give me your instruction!"
After the big food tour sentry suffered a big loss, it did not dare to enter the valley easily. It had to rush back to its own army and report the news to Mustafa Ibenyang.
"How did the cliff collapse? Have you ever found out?"
Although Mustafa Ibenyang is a person who has been in the battlefield for a long time, he has never seen the sharpness of the firearm force. He doesn't pay much attention to the news from the sentry, but he is deeply curious about the reason why the cliff fell, which is nearly 50 feet high and is basically composed of mountains and rocks. At this time, he did not mention it in the words of the commander of the sentry. I couldn't help but be curious about this matter, so I asked suspiciously.
"In the words of the governor, when I waited at the valley road, the cliff had collapsed. I didn't know what happened. I only knew that the cliff collapsed more than 60 feet away from the valley, and the road was completely broken, and the ruins formed were more than 20 feet high. The Tang people kept digging on it, but I didn't know what the purpose was."
The Great Food Army is 13 miles away from the mouth of the valley. When the patrol commander rushed to the explosion site, it was nearly half an hour after the explosion. How can he find out how the cliff was about to collapse? He could only answer his governor's questions in general, and he couldn't say why. .
"Well..."
Mustafa Ibenyang also knew that it was difficult to get more information from the whistle, but he didn't ask any more questions. With a wave of his hand, he retreated the commander of the sentry. His face looked down in the direction of Shimotanikou with a cloudy face, and his eyes were full of pain. How could he not know that he had fallen into it because of many years of experience? In the calculation of the Tang army, it is still unknown whether it can break out of the siege. If hundreds of thousands of troops are sent to this place, the situation on the eastern front of the Great Food Kingdom will be hopeless. With this in mind, Mustafa Ibionyan's heart has sunk to the bottom.
"Your Excellency, the Tang people are shameless and dare not fight head-on with me, but they secretly plot to trap our army. Although today's terrain is unfavorable, our army has a wide range of soldiers, and we should fight through the enemy!"
"Your Excellency, you just order, and we will fight to the death!"
"My lord, hit it!"
......
A group of food generals saw Mustafa Ibenyang mute silently, all of whom were a little anxious. They said one after another to fight, and there were many people who volunteered to fight the vanguard.
It's definitely necessary to fight. It's just a question of how to fight. In such a field, how can Mustafa Ibenyang not know that his side must attack urgently? Otherwise, once morale is leaked, everything will be over. Sitting in the valley is still a small matter. The key is that most of the cattle and sheep carried by the army fall because of chasing Li He's troops all the way. Outside the valley, the dry food and a few cattle and sheep brought by the troops can only support for three days at most. In the future, I'm afraid that I will have to kill the horse to make a living. At that time, it is doomed for the destruction of the whole army. This battle must be fought, not only to fight, but also to fight in a hurry, but how to fight it makes Mustafa Ibenyang a little uncertain - There seem to be a lot of choices in front of the Great Food Army. You can not only return to the army to attack the Tang army in the valley, but also attack the mouth of the valley forward. You can also cross the river and walk from the west bank. Otherwise, it is also an option to abandon horses to attack the mountains and kill a way out of life from the mountains. However, these choices have some difficulties, Mu It is difficult for Stafa Ibenyan to decide for a while.
"Hussein, what do you think?"
Mustafa Ibenyang had been thinking about it for a long time, but it was still difficult to come to a conclusion. He didn't care how the generals shouted. His eyes turned around and saw Mohammed Subin Hussein standing silently, his face full of thoughtfulness, and his heart moved, so he asked a question. Tao.
"In the words of the governor, the last general thought that our army was certainly trapped in the ambush of the Tang people, but it was not necessarily a good opportunity to break the enemy. Although the enemy was outnumbered among our soldiers. Although the enemy had the advantage of geographical advantages, it was also weak because of the division of troops to guard each key areas, and our army rode it was convenient to dispatch in this flat valley, and the enemy Although it is high in the mountains, it is not conducive to travel. Once there is a mistake, it is really difficult to mobilization reinforcements. Therefore, the last general thinks that our army should urgently attack one or two places to break the way of the enemy's blockade.
Mohammed Suben Hussein has always been known for his meticulousness in the Great Food Army. The reason why he chased the Tang army regardless of the previous time was the result of being irritated by the disparity of losses. After a period of adjustment, the anxiety in his heart was gone. The state of mind was flat, and the war situation was analyzed. It's quite insightful.
"Well, in your opinion, where is the top of the attack?"
Mustafa Ibenyang's thoughts are generally in line with what Mohammed Suben Hussein said. The only thing that is difficult to determine is the choice of the attack point. At this time, Muhammad Suben Hussein's analysis is clear, and his spirit is inevitably refreshed, but he does not comment, but immediately pursues. Tao.
"Your Excellency, the last general thinks that although the north entrance is smooth, there is an enemy army guarding it. Although the south entrance is blocked, the defenders are bound to be limited. It seems that it can be the main attack. However, in order to confuse the Tang people, we have to choose a place to attack. Today, there is a river in the east, which is urgent and difficult to cross. This road is not desirable. In the west is a mountain. Although it stretches, it is not It is unattainable. An expected enemy general must choose one of them as the place of command. Looking at the mountains, there are only three people who can do this. You can send troops to try it. Once it is determined, you can attack it with all your strength and destroy the enemy's head. Without the head of the Tang people, its army will be in chaos. It is not difficult for our army to win back.
As early as when he went to the south entrance to inspect the movement before riding, Mohammed Suben Hussein had considered the response in detail. At this time, when he heard Mustafa Ibenyang's question, he did not panic and slowly came out his thoughts one by one.
"Okay, that's it. Who dares to raise troops to attack Nankou?"
Hearing that Muhammad Suban Hussein's analysis was so thorough, Mustafa Ibenyang was quite impressed, so he no longer hesitated. After shouting, he looked around at the generals, raised his tone, and stopped drinking.
Although it is possible to make great achievements in the first attack, it is more likely that it will break the blood. Even if it succeeds, the casualties will be tragic. It is not a good thing to play. A group of big food generals will not know the interests in it. They are all quiet for a moment, and the whole scene is suddenly a strange dead silence...
