Chapter 318 Gliding
Chapter 318: Swivel
"Look, that's Marshal Ye..."
At the outpost in the front, several soldiers who were resting found a group of officers on the hillside on one side, looking out at the entire plain in front of Guiyi City.
"Why did Marshal Ye run so far ahead?" Another soldier looked on tiptoe, then looked at the sergeant who was lying on the side and had a much more experienced experience, and asked, "Boss, Marshal Ye is here, is he about to start a fight?"
The chief sect gave up the grass leaves in his mouth and said, "Don't think too much, fighting is definitely something we have to fight. When to fight, it is not our final decision. I'm afraid that Marshal Ye has the final decision alone." The chief sect smiled and said, "Here, it depends on whether the opponent is willing to fight. Do you dare to fight? You bastards, just eat and drink well every day and have sex on time. Don't get sick and get diarrhea and you won't be able to fight. If you can't catch up with this battle, you may not be able to fight until you retire."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, and they all thought of it. The current style of the Yunzhou military is becoming more and more distinct, that is, they are fully prepared and have strong combat. If they don’t move, they will be able to attack Yunzhou for a thousand pounds... There is no enemy in the surrounding area who dares to take the initiative to attack Yunzhou. If the battle of Zhenbei Military Office can be successfully resolved, it will probably take several years to recuperate and rectify the military. Even if there are occasional battles such as expelling small groups of enemies, it is not their turn to the heavy infantry. These heavy infantry are born for such a battle and battle.
Ye Tao really can't say that he has any experience in commanding this kind of battle. For Ye Tao, what is more important is to choose a better one from the opinions of the people around him, but the people around him are all very experienced. Dai Shijin, as the former patriarch of the Dai family, needs no need to say, Dai Shihuan, who had been in charge of the entire Yunzhou army before Ye Tao and Dai Yun, also came. Although these two guys have never fought such a large-scale battle, they still have some experience in commanding the battle. Tan Weiran, Cheng Chi, Chi Lei and others are also young generals with a lot of military readings. This time they will command the left, center and right armies respectively to test their combat command capabilities in actual combat. If there is a need for a battle,
The energy of the Central Military Barracks was immediately fully utilized. The huge messenger team was able to report the situation of each department at any time, while the staff officers were able to summarize various categories and report on priorities at the first time... Although there was no combat, the officers above the squadrons of each department had already performed two deductions in the Central Military Barracks. These were originally not very popular and thought they could only play marching chess, which means that the energy they used by officers who talked about the war on paper should not be underestimated. After all, whether they have military common sense is still very influential to this basic business ability. Marine chess and long-term tactical deductions may not allow these people to become qualified practical officers directly, but at least they will not understand nothing like idiots.
"Ye Tao, the terrain here is flat, and it is fair to both sides to fight on the plains. If you make an appointment here, Jiang Xujing, who has the advantage in troops, should have no reason to refuse." Dai Shiheng looked carefully at the entire scheduled battlefield and said calmly.
How large should the battlefield be for the hundreds of thousands of troops to be invested in? Although it is a battle form known for its intensive forces in this time and space, rather than a sparse scattered line and trench war, the front of the two armies' confrontation is less than a little wide. On the flat battlefield they have planned, there are only a few small slopes, which are not enough for setting up observation posts, but they can only make do with it. The two villages on the battlefield are the problem. Although some of the villagers have withdrawn, some are still left. Now, in the buffer zone of the two armies, they live quite freely.
"Uncle, please write a letter of appointment." Ye Tao said to Dai Shiheng: "Time is set in five days. Let's spend two days to help Jiang Xujing make some decisions."
"It's so good." Dai Shiheng nodded, looked at Dai Shijin again, and said, "Ye Tao, it's okay to get so many turbulent bombs, but what are you doing to get so many fine canvas? Isn't fine canvas used to release water to the baggage camp? You really stocked up so much in the rear."
Ye Tao smiled and said, "Uncle, we got these to make Jiang Xujing decide to fight. Now we are in the right position, so it will be embarrassing to move forward. During the battle, we pushed forward and rushed directly to Guiyi City. The other party retreated directly. It was really not very good. With these thin canvases, I could come up with some tricks."
Dai Shiheng curled his lips and said, "Look at you, you look happy, and don't tell us a few. You are a strategic commander, but you are also our junior. Do you know what respects the elderly and the wise?"
Ye Tao smiled and shrugged, but still said nothing. In Yunzhou, there are not many people who can talk to Ye Tao so easily. Ye Tao likes to get along with everyone equally and hopes that someone will give suggestions and suggestions at any time. But the relationship between superiors and subordinates is there after all. Dai Shikui is Ye Tao's father-in-law, so it goes without saying that Dai Shijin and Dai Shihuan are all the leaders of the Dai family. They didn't like to put on airs and their status was there, but they thought very much about Ye Tao. Others can't be so comfortable.
Ye Tao just smiled and explained, "I am still not good at fighting this kind of war. But, think about what kind of background I am, and can still do something fun. You just wait and see."
The thin canvas were cut into pieces in the military camp at this time according to Ye Tao's requirements. A large number of tough wooden poles were also transported this time, but because the wooden poles were widely used, it seemed that no one noticed it whether they were processed into arrow rods or used to support tents. But when these two things were put together, the situation was different. A triangle-like frame was laid out, covered with thin canvas, and a simple suspension was installed below, which became a glider-like thing. Two guide pieces were even installed in the back. Then, everyone watched the suspensions loaded with turbulence bullets and then placed on a rail-type crossbow that had been simply modified.
Because the shape was too simple, and the sergeants in the engineering brigade in the baggage battalion were quite skilled, with the sergeants from several other battalions assisting all the physical work of transport, a large group of 1,000 people spent a whole day to complete four hundred simple gliders. Fifty crossbows were modified. On the afternoon of the second day after sending the contract documents, these crossbows and gliders were withdrawn from the front camp and lined up towards Guiyi City. At this time, they were about six miles away from Guiyi City, which was almost five times the longest range of these crossbows. The scouts from Chunnan were approaching tentatively, but the scouts and cavalry of the Frost Wolf Silver Wing Army did not force them to leave, nor did they want to encircle them. They were very hoped that they could see clearly.
"This thing is really hard to install..." Two sergeants from the heavy equipment camp worked together, lifting the glider over their heads, and then another colleague standing on the crossbow cannon stand adjusted and stuck the glider into the guide rail. This was the first time that the heavy equipment camp encountered such a difficult guy. But the modified crossbow cannon had lengthened the guide rail, and he couldn't let the glider slide in from the front of the guide rail. God really knew something. But apart from a few simple complaints, the people in the heavy equipment camp really had no complaints, and Ding Shi and the others were playing these things in person... "It's so exciting!" This is what everyone felt after completing the first glider and the first modified crossbow a few days ago.
Around the heavy equipment camp's position, the soldiers who were resting were gathering to see what this thing was. Even those camps several miles apart were still coming.
"Everyone is ready... No. 1, No. 1, you can shoot the first shot." Ding Shi shouted at an old soldier in his fifties. The honest old soldier stood by the so-called No. 1 crossbow. Compared to others, this old soldier had played such a thing that was officially named gliding bomb. It was good, only once. But in this kind of scene, this was enough.
The old soldier who everyone called him Lao Sun's head could stay in the heavy equipment camp with extremely high physical strength at this age. Naturally, he had two brushes. He glanced and then carefully adjusted the turntables used to train heights and directions, locked them, and then narrowed his eyes and waited quietly.
Everyone was waiting. "What is Lao Sun doing?" A soldier from other battalions who were watching from the side asked in a low voice. So many people were silent, making him dare not speak loudly. "Shh... whisper, that's waiting for the wind."
"Wind?" The crowd of people around them raised their ears. In the empty fields, there were waves of gentle wind, the scattered grass leaves scattered in the air, the rustling of the weeds around the camp, and the rushing of flags in the camps all reminded the existence of this wind.
Lao Sun waited for a while before putting his hand on the pull rod used to launch. Then he narrowed his eyes again.
Suddenly, Lao Sun moved his head and pulled his hand down hard. With a sound of silence, the torsion spring instantly retreated the glider bullet. The suspension and the guide rail on the glider bullet made a sharp hanging sound. When the glider bullet left the guide rail, the hanging sound disappeared, and the world seemed to have quieted down suddenly, leaving only the whistle that sounded on the glider bullet was roaring gently...
Those who looked directly behind the crossbows felt that the gliding bullet seemed to have deviated from Guiyi, but the gliding bullet drew a beautiful arc, slightly sided, bulged its wings, and fell towards Guiyi City...
The gliding bullet seemed to have been flying in the air for a long time before finally hitting the wall of Guiyi City. That was not a key location, it was so far away from the city tower, and it exploded on the city wall and it was extinguished soon. But the troops in Yunzhou burst into loud cheers instantly...
