Huayang County, Dingma Haitou
Lu Pingan came to the trebuchet position.
Zhang Yang was patrolling not far away, shouting something angrily from time to time.
Ha ha.
"Master Zhang, you shouted so loudly." Lu Pingan smiled, "But have you rested enough?"
"It turns out to be Major General Lu." Zhang Yang shook his head, "The war is coming, and our stone balls and fireballs are not enough. How can we rest peacefully at this moment? I just squinted for a while when I was so sleepy."
"Same." Lu Pingan nodded to express understanding.
The two went into the house and sat down.
Lu Ping'an got straight to the point, "Master Zhang must have received the message from Jinlongtan?"
"received."
The East China Sea Barrier has just left Jinlongtan, and the windmill has spread the news to all parties.
Calculating the time, Lu Fuhai and the others should have returned to the coast of Huayang County in the past two days.
"The Doi Yongmen probably also caught the wind. If they don't want to die, they will make a lot of noise when they come down." Lu Ping'an speculated.
"Yes." Zhang Yang agreed, "However, the Beihai Pass is in trouble. It is very likely that General Lu will directly lead the fleet to the north to block Masato Nei."
"I think it's unlikely," Lu Pingan shook his head.
"First of all, because of the difficulties in communication at sea, General Lu may not know that Beihaiguan has fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates; secondly, our Yulong Fleet followed General Xiao and garrisoned in Beihaiguan three years ago, so we know the situation there."
"When it snows heavily, the sea near Tamaki County will freeze and freeze. It is estimated that sailing in the North Sea will no longer be possible."
Make it clear.
He looked deeply down the mountain.
As long as the Japanese pirates make a move in the past two days, they will probably fight to their death.
"Let's all prepare carefully for the battle."
That night, it was approaching midnight.
Lu Ping'an thought of the secret letter from Xingji City and couldn't sleep, so he put on his clothes and went out for inspection.
He glanced up at the sky.
It was just past half moon, and the weather was cloudy and cold, but the full moon was high and the earth was bright.
As soon as we reached the watchtower, spies hurried over.
"General, brothers have just detected that the Japanese pirate camp is about to move. It seems that they are going to attack us at night."
Lu Ping'an was refreshed and climbed up to the watchtower. He raised his binoculars and looked at the first and second lines of defense.
The Japanese pirates' camp was in darkness.
But under the bright moonlight, Lu Pingan could still see that the Japanese pirates were divided into small groups, sneaking towards the west.
It's just that they are not good at camouflage, and the weapons in their hands don't know how to cover them, and they reflect the moonlight from time to time, making it clear to everyone.
"Send someone to inform the Central Army Corps and tell them to go down and prepare our brothers to fight."
As for Zhang Yang on the high ground, he probably had already discovered traces of the Japanese pirates.
————
Central Corps.
Lin Hanmo has been suffering from insomnia recently.
I thought that since I was well-read in military science, I would be able to defeat the enemy as soon as I went to the battlefield.
However, the reality is very cruel.
The Japanese pirates were far inferior to his central army in terms of numbers and equipment. As a result, when the two armies came into contact, his brothers were like tofu hit by a heavy hammer, and they were completely vulnerable.
Lin Hanmo shuddered when he thought of what happened a few days ago.
Seeing that the third line of defense was about to collapse, luckily Lu Pingan rushed back in time.
Lin Hanmo could see clearly at that time.
As soon as the East China Sea Barrier came back, it launched an attack on the Japanese pirates.
The two of them neither had many horses nor any heavy weapons to kill the enemy. They just formed a cone array and plunged into the place where the Japanese pirates were the most.
As a result, the Japanese pirates were able to block the cavalry of the Central Legion and the bows and arrows they shot, but they were unable to stop the close-range melee combat of the East China Sea Barrier...
So that night, Lin Hanmo couldn't sleep.
In my wild thoughts,
Wow.
There was a sudden commotion outside.
"What happened in the middle of the night?" Lin Hanmo's voice was a little angry.
"General," the guard rushed in anxiously, "General Lu from the East China Sea Barrier sent a message that the Japanese pirates are about to launch a large-scale attack on us."
"Really?" Lin Hanmo was stunned, and when he realized what he was saying, he was surprised and happy.
What was surprising was that it was freezing cold outside, and the soldiers under his command had just fallen asleep and didn't know if they could get up. What was surprising was that they had another chance to prove their central legion.
"real."
"Wake up everyone and immediately organize defenses as planned. Whoever dares to delay will be killed!"
After giving a murderous order, Lin Hanmo quickly put on his armor and hurried up to the watchtower.
The Japanese pirates in front were still in darkness, but the East China Sea Barrier on the right and the northern garrison on the high ground were brightly lit, and they were full of murderous intent.
"They are all scouts, what do we do for food?"
Lin Hanmo became angrier as he watched.
The guard lowered his head and murmured, not daring to make a sound.
"Where are our heavy armored cavalry? Move to the front immediately and tell them to save my breath."
At this time, most of the central army's baggage was still far away, but Lin Hanmo pieced together more than a hundred pairs of heavy armor.
Japanese pirates like to use the iron turtle tactic, right?
Lu Ping'an's infantry had penetrated it, and there was no reason why they could stop the heavy cavalry that the Central Army had spent a lot of money to form.
Boom boom boom.
Not long after, everyone woke up.
After several screams, the faint smell of blood floated in the air.
Seeing that the military governor was serious, the soldiers of the Central Army quickly sped up their actions.
Not long after, with heavy armor in front and light cavalry behind, the huge cavalry regiment was once again aimed in the east direction.

Doi Kazuto raised his head and looked at the low hill in front of him through the moonlight.
The numerous trebuchets and ballistae above seem to be within reach.
But his eyes fell on the layers of trenches halfway up the mountain, and Tohi Kazuto gritted his teeth angrily.
It is these ordinary ravines, but like insurmountable chasms, blocking their way up the mountain.
"General, there is a lot of people above and so many torches are lit, Yunchui people should have discovered our whereabouts."
It seems that a sneak attack is impossible.
Doi Kazuto seemed not to hear anything, and just looked at the mountaintop that was getting brighter and brighter coldly.
"Have you brought enough boards?"
"Go back to the general, the brothers have dismantled the Mashiro, and everyone has brought planks."
"Very good!" Doi Kazuto was very satisfied.
Wooden planks can be used as shields and bridges. As long as they cross those deep trenches, the trebuchet and ballista positions on the top of the mountain are theirs.

At this time, sharp whistles sounded from all directions.
The attack begins.
"Everyone, follow me, come on!"
Doi Kazuto roared and rushed towards the mountain first.
In the first trench.
Wu Baichang burped, took out his dagger and picked his teeth carelessly.
Some time ago, the Gu family caravan not only transported a batch of waste rubber for burning, but also brought a lot of meat.
That night they all ate with their mouths full of oil.
"Chang Bai, the Japanese pirates are about to attack."
Wu Baichang inserted the dagger into his waist and stretched out his head to take a look.
Under the moonlight, a large group of ragged Japanese pirates crawled up, screaming.
The leader, Dohi Kazuto, was wearing a cloak and stood out like fireflies in the night sky.
"The heavy crossbow, the heavy crossbow, all were aimed at the man in the cloak. I fired at whoever was aiming at him, and I shot him through the intestines."
"Yes." The soldiers nearby agreed with laughter.
Several heavy crossbows were immediately brought out and aimed condescendingly in the direction of Doi and Ren.
"General, be careful." Dohi Kazuto's personal guard saw clearly and rushed over to remind him.
call!
The harsh wind sounded.
Black light flashed.
As soon as the guard pushed away the general, a crossbow arrow plowed a deep bloody ditch on his back from top to bottom.
Wow.
Blood spattered, and the little guard fell softly to the ground. It looked like he would not survive.
"Look at the location of those small heavy crossbows. They are not far from us."
Dohi Kazuto, who was still in shock, hid in a small nest, "Where are the trebuchets? Let me smash them."
Watch the soldier survive.8.2...m. :
