Chapter 665 Capture the Watchtower(1/2)
"It's nothing more than that on the battlefield. His body must be found and properly delivered to the city." Yang Ding's voice was slightly hoarse. Dou Ying raised his eyes and saw this battle-hardened man.
The veteran also had a little tears shining in his eyes.
Although Yang Bi was cowardly and incompetent, he was still his biological brother. It was too cowardly to die like this at the hands of the Jin army.
Yang Ding was also filled with indignation, but as a rational general, he also knew that being carried away by anger at this time and making noises would have no effect.
The only way to comfort my brother is to win this battle and drive the shameless Jin army completely out of Nanyang City!
For this reason, he sent many troops, no longer harassing on a small scale, but opened up his posture, planning to fight to the death with the Jin army!
Countless soldiers and horses poured out from various barracks in Nanyang City, and some headed outside the city to fight with the Jin army led by Huan Yi.
The wave of Qin troops led by Dou Ying was lucky. What they were about to encounter was the wave of Jin troops led by the dignified Huangmen Shilang Wang Mi!
When two strong men meet, the brave one wins?
Or does one side have an overwhelming advantage?
Wang Mi and others rushed out of the hard building and immediately ate a mouthful of dust.
"broken!"
"The army of Di Qin is coming!"
When Liu Chun saw the layers of smoke and dust kicked up by those Di Qin cavalry, he instantly became paralyzed. His courage was really rising and falling.
Just a moment ago, in the dark hard building, he was a warrior who killed people without blinking an eye, taking one step at a time. But now, in the blink of an eye, he turned into a coward who was dragging Wang Mi's arm and only wailing.
Although Liu Chun didn't say much, his disappointment was evident in his words. What did he mean?
Are you complaining about Wang Mi?
Blame him for being impulsive and meddlesome?
Not thinking well?
Taking thousands of soldiers and running to Nanyang City to die?
Their generals from Jingzhou are used to doing this!
It’s really despising!
"Jinnu, for this plan, we have to fight hard!"
Gunpowder, gunpowder!
Why do you have so little!
Others were lamenting that the Jin army had too few men and could not compete with Di Qin, but Wang was lamenting that they did not have enough gunpowder.
wrong!
It’s not that we didn’t bring enough, it’s that we didn’t make enough!
Far from enough!
Wang Mi spent all his money on the gunpowder used under Nanyang City. He brought all the gunpowder from Jiankang City. At that time, he brought as much gunpowder as he made in the general workshop, without any deductions.
He really regretted it. If he could have estimated the situation to be worse at that time, he would have made more gunpowder.
If there is enough gunpowder, you can blow up here and there, and the gunpowder is open to use, without any ambiguity.
What a pity! What a pity!
Just when Wang Mi and others were eating ashes, Zhao Dang, a soldier from Di Qin who temporarily surrendered, suddenly appeared and said loudly: "Can you all listen to me?"
How long has it been since this happened? He was still speaking in such a polite manner. Wang Mi waved his hand: "But it doesn't matter!"
"Speak quickly!" Brother Jinu was also very anxious.
"Comparing the strength of the two armies, our army is obviously at a disadvantage. If we rely solely on rushing and fighting, we will definitely not be Di Qin's opponent."
Even before the armor on his body was replaced, Zhao Dang's stance had already turned 180 degrees. Now, the "our army" he was talking about was naturally referring to the Jin army.
Although the words are ugly, they are the truth.
The current situation of the Jin and Qin armies could not be clearer, almost at a glance.
Although the Jin army outside the city was also trying its best to replenish the city, the enemy was strong and we were weak.
"Do you have any idea?" Wang Mi suddenly thought that Zhao Dang was originally a Qin soldier and came out of Nanyang City.
To be said to be the most familiar with the buildings, plants and trees in this city, no one present can compare with him.
"For this plan, I think we should seize the watchtower first!"
Wang Mi looked up at the sky. High in the sky, right in front of them, there was a watchtower standing not far away.
As a common building in the city, the watchtower is also an indispensable part of city defense, and it also assumes a very important responsibility.
Seizing the watchtower, occupying the commanding heights of the city, and sniping down the Qin soldiers is indeed a more labor-saving method.
The key is that it can be delayed longer and reduce casualties.
However, in Nanyang County, there are not only three but five watchtowers in the city.
To be honest, there are probably dozens.
These watchtowers are like the eyes of the defenders. Their tentacles extend in all directions. It can be said that no matter the major or minor events in the city, it can be said that they cannot escape the attention of the sentries.
They had just stepped into Nanyang City, and the situation here had changed a lot from when the Jin Dynasty occupied it.
"It is really not an easy task to accurately find each watchtower and then destroy each one accurately." Liu Yuyi sighed.
"What's so difficult about this?"
"I'm not here anymore?"
"I'll take you to search, and I'm sure you'll find them all!" Zhao Dang boasted, patting his chest, but everyone knew that this soldier was really not bragging.
yes!
Isn’t this Xiao Zhao?
With him here, can there still be a watchtower that can't be found?
Wang Mi and others immediately cheered up. Although there were few people, their determination to fight could not be relaxed at all.
The structure of the watchtower is relatively simple. The soldiers climb up the high stairs into the air, and the suspended building is just a simple small house like a tree house.
There will never be more than five Qin soldiers stationed inside.
Different from the ancillary buildings of the city wall such as hard towers and turrets, although the watchtower towers into the sky and looks powerful and powerful, in fact, it is only used to monitor the situation inside the city and is not responsible for the war outside the city.
Since it was for internal defense, there would not necessarily be too many soldiers on the watchtower on weekdays. As long as they could deliver a message, that would be enough.
With Zhao Dangdang leading the way, I think the Jin army will be able to locate the watchtower at an extremely fast speed and seize it at the same time.
Many people will say that since the watchtower towers into the clouds and is a tall and floating building, can it become a small fortress for soldiers to attack?
The answer is, of course, no problem.
Although the watchtower is tall, in ancient times when construction capacity was limited, it was not higher than the city wall. According to Wang Mi's visual inspection, it was about five meters, which was enough to ensure a bird's eye view of the buildings in the city.
With such a height, it can be converted into an attack location similar to a castle tower. It should be very convenient to use weapons such as bows and arrows.
Some people say that although the watchtower can have an advantage, once the Jin troops attack the watchtower, they will be isolated and helpless.
This place will not be occupied for long. If the Qin soldiers are determined to fight for it, it will be very easy.
Moreover, the weapons that can be used on the watchtower are also limited. They can only be bows and arrows. Even the accuracy of the crossbows cannot be guaranteed. What advantage can this be?
Hey hey hey!
Isn't this something that can't be helped? If they want people, guns, and guns, all of them can still look like they're eating shit.
All young generals are heroes among men. As long as there is a chance of survival, they will fight to the death and will never give up easily.
But now, they are almost forced into a desperate situation. If there is a second and better choice, why would everyone end up like this!
"Jiu Nu, get ready and charge!"
Go ahead!
Yes!
Before capturing the watchtower, the brothers of the Jin Army still have one more hurdle to pass!
It's an extremely difficult level. If you can't get through it, let alone capture the watchtower, you will find there is no way out even if you step back.
That difficulty is the roaring Qin soldiers!
The person who took the lead turned out to be an acquaintance of Wang Mi. He touched his eyes and discovered that it was the team leader Dou Ying!
Wasn't this person just defeated by him?
Compared to Yang Bi and others who had already rushed to the street, Dou Ying was considered a lucky man. When he appeared on the stage, the war had just begun and the fighting was not very fierce, so he saved his life.
This kind of luck is not easy to come by. He didn't know how to cherish it, and went to the Jin army to act wild?
Doesn't it mean that he underestimates him, Wang Shilang?
"That's unreasonable!"
