sweeping the world

Chapter 585 Don't Blame Anyone
Any military fortress cannot only have surface buildings. In addition to the military facilities on the surface, there will also be dense cellars and tunnels under the surface. The difference is just more and less.

Cellars are usually used to store some military supplies, but they can be used to store soldiers during wartime. In fact, the meaning of the cellar is the same as that of the caves at the gates of every city.

Tunnels are hubs under the internal surface, preventing the enemy from taking advantage of the surface and cutting them off. Once the surface is strictly controlled, the defenders will deliver troops or supplies from the tunnels.

The soldiers who were selected into the standing army had fought too many forts and fortresses, and they basically knew what would happen in the building attack battle, and they were mentally prepared from the beginning.

"Who brought the fire oil?" Li Mi was the team leader, and he was in charge of more than 50 people. They were responsible for the early cleaning, and more of them were on standby outside to prevent Zhang's Liangjun from other places from coming. Fort reinforcements.He killed two of them with his own hands just now, and Bao Ze killed four together, no one came out of the hole, but there was still movement inside: "Quickly, bring the fire oil and burn these rats to death. "

If it is not necessary, if you go into a dark hole without investigating, you are completely joking with your own life. Li Mi doesn't need to know how big the space is under the hole, let alone how many enemy troops are inside. , It counts as much as you can burn to death with kerosene.

"Pour, pour in!" Li Mi blushed with excitement, and asked again: "Who brought the fire bag?"

Having too much experience in attacking forts, Han soldiers would bring some strange gadgets with them. It became a habit to carry kerosene in leather bags with them in order to burn holes that they didn't know what was inside.

Li Mi lit a leather bag with his own hands and threw it into the hole. He stepped back and let the others do their homework, muttering, "If you can't burn these bastards to death, the smoke can choke them to death."

The surrounding soldiers with short soldiers had a tacit understanding and moved away a little bit, so that Pao Ze, who was holding a long gun in his hand, could surround him, and the eyes of each of them were ferocious besides excitement.

When the burning leather bag was thrown into the hole, it was already filled with roars. There were so many people shouting hysterically that it was impossible to understand what was being said.

Oil, no matter what kind of oil it is, as long as it burns, it will produce a lot of smoke. The smell is not only unpleasant, but also extremely irritating and choking to the eyes.

When the hole began to emit smoke, the roar in the hole was not only hysterical, it seemed that something was getting closer to the hole, and the Han army spearmen surrounding the hole were holding their guns and posing tacitly waiting for the thrust pose.

"Uh……"

Zhang Shiliangjun who emerged from the cave looked so disgraced, he emerged with his eyes closed, his tears were streaming down his nose, his nose was flowing, he took a big mouthful of fresh air, he seemed to be happy sighed?
There was no need for someone to order, the soldiers of the Han army armed with long spears stabbed together, the spear head pierced into the flesh, and when they sank into the barrel of the gun, they would work together to lift the corpse up and throw it aside.

Zhang Liangjun, who was stabbed to death by several spears, didn't let out any screams at all, and because he closed his eyes, he didn't know who killed him or how many people killed him.

One after another, people kept emerging from the hole, and then they were killed by the Han army's spearmen who had been prepared. The process was like an assembly line operation in a slaughterhouse...

It's not that the people in the cave don't know what's going on up there, they've been so smoked that they can't care about anything else, they were able to shout to surrender earlier, but too many people shouted and the Han army didn't receive the information, and behind them they were so smoked. It's hard to breathe, and I don't have time to shout anything.

That's the way it is on the battlefield. Either kill or be killed. It's a slaughterhouse where people die. It doesn't make much difference how you die. Don't blame anyone.So Li Mi's team of the Han army was carrying out the massacre with the utmost advantage, and didn't feel anything wrong.They knew one thing very well, if they were the ones who were slaughtered, Zhang Liangjun would not be merciful.

The corpses that were killed and dragged aside quickly piled up, and the wounds that were pierced by the gun point continued to ooze blood. Those various expressions also have everything.

Gradually, the time interval between people coming out of the hole became longer and longer, and no one came out at the end, and there was no movement at all inside.

"The head is not allowed to be cut off, only the left ear is credited." Li Mi called out loudly: "Why are you standing still? Hurry up and cut off the ear!"

There must be something for the soldiers to use as a proof of merit, but the beheading was restrained in advance, because the center regarded the war against Zhang's Liangguo as a civil war.On the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, killing is killing people, there is no need to be as bloody as treating aliens, not only restraining the cutting of heads, but also strictly prohibiting the killing of innocent people.

National righteousness, fellowship, and other noble sentiments are too far away from the soldiers who fight in person. For people like them who rush up and don't know if they can go back alive, they should do everything possible to kill the enemy soldiers. The military exploits can be recorded in the end, and that is the most important thing.

Li Mi's team is just a microcosm of the battle scene.

The Han troops who entered the military fort area relied on their sufficient experience to know what they would encounter early on. They surveyed the ground as soon as they entered, and waited until they found the entrance and exit of the cave. If the enemy did not come out, they would use various methods to force them. Anyway, it was impossible. Huimao got in rashly.

"We found the entrance and exit of the tunnel that seems to be connected to the main city!"

A burst of shouts attracted Li Mi's attention, and he didn't see who was around clearly, and ordered: "You, you, you... stay at the entrance of this cave, wait until there is no smoke coming out, go in and see what's going on inside." , and then shouted loudly: "The rest of you, follow me!"

The few soldiers who were left behind by the nod looked at each other for a while and grinned.

Among the ruins of a large piece of ruins, the figures of soldiers of the Han army can be seen everywhere, most of them seem to be idling in the same place, and there are definitely some dead bodies of the Zhang Liang army beside the small group of people. Only a small number of people are engaged in the business of recycling arrows and stone bullets.

Li Mi originally wanted to take a look at the so-called entrance and exit of the tunnel in the main city, but he was captured by a military lord on the way.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Si looked up and down at the dirty and blood-stained people: "Whose subordinates, what are they doing?"

Li Mi already knew who Zhang Si was, and he didn't have any objection to a small team leader who didn't know him. He told his own number, but he wondered in his heart how could there be other soldiers besides him. Qu's military lord was present.

"The work you should be doing has already been done. The rest is our business." Zhang Si pointed to the stone bullets collected not far away: "Come on, take someone to get those stone bullets back. "

Li Mi's lips moved. Zhang Si is a military lord, but he is not his immediate superior. He is not qualified to give orders to them, but a senior official can crush people to death. Thinking of the same song, the robes are all cats in place. I could probably guess what was going on, so I walked over honestly thinking about the pile of stone bombs.

"Go to a few people and find the head of the village..." Li Mi wiped his face, paused, and then continued in a muffled voice: "It's okay to find other team leaders, and ask what we don't know."

Just now their team was covered by a ruin, and they were too busy killing the enemy to pay much attention to who shouted what.

"The stone bullets are too heavy. There's nothing you can do except push them and roll them back!" Commander Quan Qi patted a stone bullet worriedly: "Why don't you run back first and ask the equipment troops for a carriage? "

Li Mi nodded casually as a response, and he was still waiting for the news from the people who had just left.

Those subordinates who dispersed did not keep Li Mi waiting too long. The news they brought back was very simple. They had indeed fulfilled their responsibilities this time, and the order from their immediate superiors was to stand by on the spot.

[Since they are on standby, I will not transport any stone bombs. ] Li Mi took a few glances at Zhang Si not far away, and saw that the robes of different shapes were gathering more and more in this direction: [It is also the job of the county soldiers to transport stone bombs. People, don't care about stone bombs. 】

If you think so, you should pretend to transport stone bombs, and you can't stop the movement.This kind of behavior has something to do with whether he is a soldier or not, and it is more about the dignity of a soldier.After all, different organizational systems cannot be ordered at will, and then soldiers are really not a chore.

Zhang Si, who was not far away, was not so blind that he couldn't see that Li Mi and the others were putting on an act, and he even saved on putting on an act later on, but he didn't get mad or do anything because of it.He will be like this, because Li Mi's team is too ignorant, the attack echelon has been handed over, what's the point of running to the battlefield?Look down on people and think you can't fight, or rush to grab credit?Pao Ze belongs to Pao Ze, this is not how things are done!

When the military fort was cleaned up just now, the losses on the Han army's side were minimal. There should be three to four hundred people in the Zhang Liang army who crawled out of various holes.And how could there be only three or four hundred people in such a large military fort?

Zhang Si's handover of the attack echelon was not up to him to decide. In the final analysis, the place where a military lord can make decisions on the battlefield is very limited, even a school lieutenant still has to follow the instructions from above.

The clearing of the military fort was still continuing, and Zhang's Liang army, who had been stunned, did not completely give up resistance. The previous counterattacks were just random attacks without organization and coordination.

"The ground is full of Han troops, and many of our brothers who were hiding in the cellar were forced out." The general of the castle and Sofu retreated to the tunnel leading to the main city, smelling the turbid air, and the skin could feel it. Humidity: "When will the counterattack be launched?"

"Wait a little longer." Suofu told himself that he had to be patient. The Han army had just entered the military fort, and it was the time when vigilance was at its highest. Going out now would not be able to take advantage, let alone regain the surface of the military fort: "Block it first." Dead tunnel exit, don't let them pour smoke in."

The main tunnels of the military fort will definitely be placed at the core. Without effective resistance on the ground, the Han army can easily break into the core area of ​​the military fort. It is only a matter of time before the tunnels are discovered. Sofu did not expect that the Han army would be so fast Just find the entrance and exit.

"There are small tunnels with seven bends and eight turns in the main tunnel. If the enemy rushes in, you can let go of the entrance." Suofu didn't want to stay here anymore, and the next step is to fight in the tunnel. The role he can play is not enough. Not much: "I'm going back to the city to ask the prefect for instructions, and you will preside over the battle."

The master of the castle made a "promise" without complaining, let alone feeling wronged, everyone has their own responsibilities.

Suo Fu returned to the main city, and soon went to the tower to meet Zhang Chong after going through many twists and turns.He went up to the tower and looked out. The military fort where he was just now was full of figures of the Han army, but the siege equipment such as catapults and the like had disappeared.

"They are going to attack the next acropolis." Zhang Chong's face was full of gloom: "Taking the example here, before nightfall, the other acropolis may not be able to protect its surface fortifications."

Sofu said in shame, "I have betrayed the prefect's trust."

"It's none of your business." Zhang Chong said very clearly: "The Han army is powerful, and the siege equipment cannot be carried by the acropolis alone. As long as there are still soldiers hiding underground, the role of the acropolis will not be considered lost."

"The Han army found the tunnels, but they surrounded them and tried their best to force them, but they didn't attack immediately." Suofu shouldn't have opened his mouth, but he couldn't help it: "Can we... just sit back and watch the acropolis be pulled out one by one?"

Zhang Chong was silent.He really wanted to send a large army to fight the Han army, but things were not that simple. Most of the Han army came were cavalry, and there were also a large number of crossbow troops. Field battles were not worthwhile for the Jincheng defenders.

"The general can lead his troops out at night..." Suofu's request was rejected, and he could only sigh loudly: "Alas!"

The Acropolis outside the main city was built to support the main city. Under conventional warfare, the Acropolis can actually last for a long time, even if the enemy troops capture it, they will have to pay a lot of casualties in the end.However, this is based on the fact that the invading enemy army does not have an exaggerated number of long-range attack equipment, and the surface fortifications that have brought a large number of catapults by the Han army have little effect.

When Zhang Chong arranged the defense line, he had already taken into account that the Han army might bring a large number of siege equipment into consideration, so he dug so many tunnels under the surface. Rely on the tunnels to hold back the Han army, or use the tunnels to cause trouble for the Han army!
"The golden city is more important than Mount Tai." Zhang Chong smiled, turned his head to look at Suo Fu and continued: "Our responsibility is to defend the golden city, how to defeat or repel the enemy, the general must have a rough chest? "

On the other side of the Yellow River, Jinxing County and Guangwu County have been gathering troops, and the Jincheng defenders have been notified long ago.They also know that to stabilize the overall situation in the DPRK, Zhang Zuo will definitely lead the army personally, so Jincheng is important, but Zhang Zuo has to handle the major events that will really determine the fate of the country.
