Chapter 44 Seller's Glory(1/2)
Wei Fei is cowardly!
Lead the remnants and retreat in shame to the top of the mountain.
In the camp, Baili Camp took the opportunity to go ashore, waiting to remove the artillery and crossbow from the warships. Gao Shun and Chen Dao led their troops to advance and storm all the way to the foot of the mountain.
It formed a horn and staggered the camp.
The two battalions did not rush to attack the top of the mountain, but took off the engineer shovels she carried with her and started the engineering operations, preparing to build high earthen mountains at the foot of the mountain.
"What are they doing?"
On the city tower, Wen Boyuan's calves were trembling. Once Lantern Island fell, everyone else present had a chance to live, but he would die.
This pressure,
It's definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.
"It should be building a dirt mountain and preparing to climb altitude to fight." Wei Fei still saw some tricks.
"Then, do you want to go down the mountain and rush for a while?"
"no,"
Wei Fei shook his head, not to mention that the enemy was equipped with a powerful crossbow, "What if it's a plan?"
"this……"
Wen Boyuan was also very confused.
They could only watch the enemy busy at the foot of the mountain, but they could do nothing.
Until night falls...
"The other party won't attack at night, right?" Wen Boyuan never left the city tower.
“It’s possible.”
Wei Fei was not sure. After all, he was just the leader of the mercenary regiment.
Still a deputy.
He was not from a serious military general, how many war strategies could he understand?
"Maybe we can do the opposite?" Wen Boyuan's mind was very enlightened.
Wei Fei looked at the fool, "The other party is not stupid, so he will definitely be wary. Our biggest advantage now is the mountaintop camp. Any time we take the initiative to attack, it will hit the enemy's wishes."
"Then I can only keep doing this?"
"What about that?"
"Can you let the headquarters send another group of mercenaries?" Wen Boyuan's eyes were full of requests.
"Oh,"
Wei Fei sneered, "There is a hidden rule in the mercenary world - to be in danger at sea, and seek blessings for oneself."
"What?"
Wen Boyuan didn't understand at all.
"Seeking help means that we are in a bad situation now and need reinforcements. The situation is unfavorable and the prospects are unclear. At this time, who will come to reinforcements stupidly, joke about their lives, and really treat us mercenaries as heroes?"
Mercenary,
But one of the most realistic groups.
The moment Wei Fei and others went to the island, they had already been cut off from the headquarters to some extent.
They took the benefits,
Those mercenaries who stayed in Yaoguang City did not get any benefits, so why should they work hard?
The Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Group is just a small mercenary group. Unlike those old mercenary groups, the binding force on members is extremely limited. If you are not happy, you will be irresisted from the group.
"Take a step back, there are only 200 people left at the headquarters now. Even if all of them are here, what can we do?"
Wen Boyuan: “…”
"I'm going to sleep and let the demon warrior watch the night." Wei Fei yawned.
"Go, I will lead the team tonight to watch." Wen Boyuan was very considerate.
tomorrow,
We also need to rely on the mercenary group to play the main force, and of course we need to have a good rest.
No words all night.
…………
The next morning, when Wei Fei walked up the city tower, he noticed that Wen Boyuan not only had dark circles, but also had a pale face, as if he had lost his soul.
"What's wrong?" Wei Fei was surprised.
In my impression, Wen Boyuan is not someone who can't stand it.
"You can see it yourself."
Wen Boyuan pointed at the foot of the mountain, and his voice was as dry as a blower.
Wei Fei looked over his fingers and saw that two cannons had been set up on the mound built by the enemy's troops at the foot of the mountain and four large bed crossbows.
"Gudong..."
Wei Fei swallowed quietly, as if his throat was about to smoke the next moment.
"It's too much!"
Before the two discussed countermeasures, the Yunxiao Army at the foot of the mountain had already begun to take action.
Under Ling Zhen's command,
The warriors of the Shenji Camp finally checked the artillery.
"The first round of shooting starts!"
A cannon,
At least three ammunition loaders, a sighter, an operator, two sergeant artillerymen responsible for the cooling of the barrel, an observer and correspondent, and a commander.
Mobile gun mount,
Four additional artillery soldiers are required to be equipped for transportation.
That is to say,
One cannon must be equipped with 10-15 artillery soldiers.
In wartime, reserve personnel should also be considered, such as sighting. After a member of the battle is killed, there should be a reserve sighting to push up in time, and the number of soldiers may double.
Including the engineers, kids, nurses, mechanics, etc. who serve artillery, the scale is even larger.
Often the forces of a battalion,
It can only barely support about 10 artillery pieces.
The operation and maintenance cost is higher than that of the cavalry.
The loader loads the shells, aims the operator to adjust the shooting angle. With the commander's order, the shells are out of the bore, roaring and drawing an arc, and landing on the hillside in front of the city gate.
A big hole was blown up.
"Well," Wei Fei reminded Wen Boyuan, "Island Master, should we leave this first?"
He doesn't want to be killed.
"Can't be able to guard the city gate?" Wen Boyuan couldn't pee his pants.
"I'm afraid that's how it is."
"That is, I can only fight to the death?"
"yes,"
Wei Fei's eyes flashed, and he obviously did not have the awareness of dying with Lantern Island.
When the two left the city tower, their sightings had already corrected their position in time according to the landing point of the shell.
Then there is the second and third ejaculation.
When the fourth shell was released, it finally hit the city tower accurately and exploded.
Not only the city tower, but also the logs and rolling stones hanging on the wooden walls were destroyed one by one, and rolling down the hillside without any force.
On the city wall, both mercenaries and demon warriors fled in panic.
It's so smooth,
The main reason is that the walls of Lantern Island are too bad.
If it were a city wall built with pure stone like Yunxiao Island, even if the cannon was shot into the explosion, it might not have been able to blow up a big hole in the city wall.
As for the city gate?
To be continued...
