Dinghai Pier, the third line of defense.
We are almost at the outskirts of the dock, and beyond are the roads extending in all directions in Huayang County and the vast fields as far as the eye can see.
Once the third line of defense is breached, a large number of Japanese pirates will swarm in and disperse in all directions, making defense very difficult.
After all, Lin Hanmo was familiar with the art of war, so he knew how powerful it was.
When he looked up to the east, his face was still calm, but his hands were already slippery.
How can this be?
He Xingzhou died in the blink of an eye, while the other soldiers panicked. The Japanese pirates took the opportunity to press forward, and the first line of defense was instantly breached.
This was indeed far beyond his expectation.
As for the second line of defense, Lin Hanmo slapped his head and ordered the evacuation himself.
Dinghai Pier is a funnel-shaped terrain that becomes narrower toward the seaside.
The central corps is mostly made up of cavalry and requires vast space to move.
Seeing the chaos ahead, Lin Hanmo simply ordered a retreat, preparing to retreat to the third line of defense and then prepare for the battle.
"General, it's not good." Li Guardsman ran over sweating profusely.
"The Japanese pirates brought a lot of sandbags and horses. When we retreated, they moved forward. As soon as we attacked, they threw these obstacles to the ground and huddled in place, with shields and spears, forming one after another full of sharp teeth. Hedgehog."
"Brothers, the attack is very disadvantageous."
More than disadvantageous.
When the soldiers of the central army rode their horses to the Japanese pirates' large and small hedgehog formations, they would either be stabbed to death by random spears, including their horses and men, or they would slow down and be tied up with ropes by the Japanese pirates, and then kill people and seize the horses.
After repeated defeats and heavy casualties at the front, the morale of the Central Corps unknowingly declined.
Only then did the soldiers at the front have to come over to find countermeasures.
"Damn it." Lin Hanmo was furious, "What do you do for food?"
"Have you never trained the cavalry in the sausage-slicing tactic of shooting and running away? Why do you have to drive the horse forward?"
"This..." Li Qianwei was very aggrieved.
"General, of course the brothers know how to cut sausages. It's just that the Japanese pirates raised their shields and stretched out their spears, and everything was as strong as a turtle. The arrows fired by the brothers were like tickling them."
Lin Hanmo became even more angry, "Where's our heavy crossbow, where's the trebuchet, where's the hammer..."
As he spoke, his voice dropped.
The central army's baggage was dispatched slowly. At this time, it was estimated that they had not traveled even half way either by land or by water. It won't be of use for a while.
Install the latest version. 】
After a moment of silence, Lin Hanmo hesitantly looked toward the highlands not far to the north.
There are many flamboyant trebuchets and large and small ballistae groups.
"General," Li Guardsman knew what Shangfeng was thinking at a glance.
"Master Zhang has stockpiled a large amount of stones, crossbows and gunpowder at the dock in advance. Whenever the Japanese pirates dare to go ashore, he will order a saturation attack and use trebuchets and crossbows to smash the enemies back into the sea."
"So that's it." Lin Hanmo suddenly realized, and his hot face felt better now, "So as long as our luggage arrives, these Japanese pirates in front of us will never come back?"
Unconsciously, he felt a little unconfident.
"That's right." Li Guards nodded in agreement.
He hesitated: "General, should we ask Master Zhang for help?"
Forget about the sea-proof crossbow, this kind of weapon is so powerful and bulky that it is almost impossible to adjust it to 90 degrees or even 180 degrees.
But as long as Zhang Yang turns the other heavy crossbows, breaking crossbows, especially the large number of trebuchets, they will hit hard between the second and third lines of defense.
If the central army takes the opportunity to fight back collectively, the situation at the dock will probably be much better.
Lin Hanmo heard it very harshly.
"unnecessary!"
"It is said in the art of war that war requires the right time, right place, and the right people."
"Our regiment has traveled thousands of miles from the Ruinan Mountain base camp day and night. The soldiers are already exhausted physically and mentally. It is understandable that they missed the battle."
He looked coldly at the sea to the east.
"They are just barbarians from the East. There are not too many enemies landing at this time. Moreover, the terrain becomes more open as we go west, which is conducive to large-scale movement of our cavalry."
"Go ahead and tell your brothers and horses to eat and rest as soon as possible. When you regain your energy tomorrow, you will be able to kill them all in one go and drive them all back to the sea."
Li Qianwei was sincerely convinced, "The general is right!"
To the east, Tu Fei and people became more and more excited as they fought.
"When did this group of Yunchui people rotate in?"
It is simply not on the same level as the previous batch.
If this group of people had been guarding the pier before, they would have been enjoying a good life in the towns of Huayang County.
No one answered.
No matter who the guard is on the opposite side, as long as you are weak on the life-and-death battlefield, you will die!
After finally meeting an opponent who could beat them, all the Japanese pirate soldiers were holding back their anger and charging forward.
At this time, the messenger hurriedly arrived.
"General, General Dohi's military order."
Doi Kazuto quickly took it, opened it, and then raised his head and looked fiercely at the small slopes to the north.
"Pass my order, the brothers at the battle camp level of the Mashiro, Inukai, Shangguo, and Naita immediately leave the battlefield, and their respective generals will lead the attack on those high points. They must seize the trebuchets and ballista groups above. "
"Especially the Yun Chui Ren Hai Po Crossbow, we Yamato can't make it yet. So no matter how much you spend, you must grab at least one."
"Understand?"
"Understood!" Several battalion-level generals roared in agreement and turned around to mobilize their troops.
Highlands, watchtower.
Zhang Yang held up the telescope and looked around.
Soon I saw a large number of Japanese pirates turning north collectively and rushing toward their location with great momentum.
"Notice, the enemy is coming, everyone prepares for battle!"
The news spread quickly to the bottom, and the garrison soldiers gathered their spirits and grasped their weapons.
Pooh!
In a certain newly dug trench, Wu Baichang spat disdainfully.
"Central Corps?"
"Shit!"
They were originally guarding the first line of defense. Although the casualties of the brothers around them were high, at least they did not make it easy for the Japanese pirates. It could even be said that they killed many enemies. Even death was definitely enough.
As a result, some central army group came, and Dalilie asked them to move their defenses and take a rest.
It was a good thing.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, not to mention the first line of defense, even the third line of defense is now shaky.
Without the two front lines of defense to block them, the trebuchets and ballistae groups on the highlands could attack the enemy safely and boldly. At this time, the troops approaching the mountain suddenly became dangerous.
If there wasn't a northern part that wasn't surrounded by enemies, it would have become an isolated spot.
But as long as the third line of defense is breached, sooner or later the place will become helpless.
"Brothers," Wu Baichang pulled off his armor and patted Chi Guo's chest, "Does anyone know what a sea-proof crossbow is?"
Ha ha.
There was laughter all around.
"Of course I know. That's a weapon that can threaten a warrior-level weapon."
"Not only do I know, but I also helped carry those broken crossbow arrows. Damn it, just one arrow is thicker than my waist."
…
"Very good." Wu Baichang nodded, "I don't need to say more about the power of this weapon. As long as a few are set up on the shore, the Japanese generals will not dare to approach casually, and the folks in my hometown can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Although there are a lot of Japanese pirates in Gouri, from the generals down to the soldiers, they all have shit in their heads. They have been fighting with us for so long, and they can't even build a sea-proof crossbow."
"Now they are divided into two groups, heading west to break through the third line of defense and then break into Huayang County to kill, burn, and loot. But that is a matter for the Central Army, and we don't need to worry about it for the time being."
"The other route is here to snatch the sea-proof crossbow behind us."
"Will everyone let them get their wish?"
"No!" shouted everyone around.
"Very good!" Wu Baichang roared, raising the red and black machete in his hand, "If we can defend the first line of defense for ten days, we can defend here for another ten days."
"Follow me and chop them to death!"
