Wang Jianguo and Qi Zhen made the same judgment. Under such circumstances, their own army could hardly expect to evacuate the battlefield quickly. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides collided with each other. Even with modern weapons such as grenades, it would not be possible. It will be over in a minute and a half.
Although Wang Jianguo, who had lost his pistol, could still dominate the battlefield with his combat effectiveness, compared to his personal combat ability, it was obvious that the army now lacked a brain.
With Qi Zhen here, the killing and control of enemy generals are guaranteed. Now he needs to consider other things.
"What? Didn't come?!" Wang Jianguo was stunned for a moment after hearing Tan Ma's report.
Just when Wang Jianguo realized that this battle could not end quickly and turned his attention to Zhuozhou City, the sent Tan Ma gave him a piece of news that shocked him.
This is certainly good news.
The three military towns outside the west city gate were ready to move when Cao Wei's army blocked them. It was obvious that they had the idea of attacking from both sides. Once the encirclement of them was completed, even with grenades and cannons, they were destined to lose.
But so much time has passed, and for some reason, the other party didn't come out at all!
Even before the two sides came into contact, there were constant scouts going back and forth between the three military towns outside the west city gate and the Chinese army, immediately reporting the movements there to Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng.
The arrival of this news did not make Wang Jianguo take it lightly, thinking that the enemy general was a stupid guy who would miss such a golden opportunity.
Then the other party must be hindered by other things.
The next reward from the horse exploration made Wang Jianguo a little overjoyed.
"When we got there, violent explosions were happening in the enemy's three military towns. It sounded like..."
"What does it look like?" Wang Jianguo asked with his eyes wide open.
"It's like being bombarded by artillery. The density of explosions is simply horrifying... But we looked around for a long time, but we didn't see any artillery around." The detective said hesitantly.
"How powerful was the explosion?" Wang Jianguo asked next.
"The explosion was very violent, at least much more powerful than the artillery in my army!" Tan Ma replied decisively.
Wang Jianguo suddenly realized, with a hint of joy on his face.
"Then it's normal that you can't see the shadow of the artillery. Let's explore again!"
"Here!"
After Tan Ma retreated, Wang Jianguo ordered again: "Come here, order the entire army to press against the enemy. There is no need to leave any troops behind!"
There is only one weapon in the world that can cause such a large amount of damage to the enemy's military town, and that is the mortar.
And the only person who could appear on the battlefield and use mortars on such a large scale at this time was Lin Biao.
That's right, Lin Biao, who has only been to Zhuozhou and Yizhou in this game, and has never been outside of Luoyang, is finally here.
At this time, about ten miles away from the west gate of Zhuozhou, a large number of soldiers were gathering here. As far as the eye could see, there was a massacre.
This place is called Shilipo. As the name suggests, it is exactly ten miles away from the west gate of Zhuozhou. It was originally a village.
At this time, the village has long lost its original appearance. The fences and walls in the village have long been demolished by the army. Except for the houses still placed here in an orderly manner, the entire place has been filled by soldiers.
The village chief's home has been turned into a temporary command post. At this time, Lin Biao was looking at the map on the wall with a calm expression.
Behind him, Huo Zhi was sitting upright and reporting the battle situation to him: "My lord, the people in the village have been screened and there are no enemy spies. At this time, they have been arranged to move to nearby counties in batches; This time we have moved all the property in Luoyang City. At present, it seems that the enemy has no time to react. They are probably still looking for where the attack came from. If the bombardment continues like this, within an hour, these three military towns will have no time to react. , the reduction of staff will reach at least one-third, which is still a conservative estimate."
Huo Zhi's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said with some worry: "Now there are three questions, and I, Old Huo, won't be happy if I don't complain."
"Say it." Lin Biao said softly without turning back.
"First of all, we left Luoyang City, but you didn't bring Lu Feng out first. Lu Buyong was brave, but he first attached to Ding Yuan, and then recognized Dong Zhuo as his father. Because of Diao Chan's relationship, he became Wang Yun's Son-in-law, you are not afraid of these four surnamed servants..."
"I gave most of the soldiers in Luoyang City to Qi Zhen and asked him to lead the army and cooperate with Wang Jianguo to attack Jizhou. Before leaving, I took away almost all the cannons. The remaining few that were not suitable for siege were also Even the Xiliang cavalry, which was originally under Lu Bu, was brought out by me this time. This means that Lu Bu has no usable soldiers at all. Now Luoyang city defense is empty, and any general who is not stupid can lead 50,000 people. It can be defeated, so if Lu Bu wants to rebel against us, it is not allowed in terms of strength, and this is one of them." Lin Biao said.
"Secondly, you and I must not underestimate the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sitting on the dragon throne. This man had great ambitions but was born at the wrong time. He was used as a puppet on strings for almost the first half of his life. But if you want to say He has been under the influence of Dong Zhuo for so many years in mastering the power of the emperor. Even if he does not become a tyrant, how could he not be on guard against Lu Bu, who was originally Dong Zhuo's number one general? This time, there is a high probability that he and Lu Bu will It's just a matter of peace, I've already explained it."
"Thirdly, there is a reason why Lu Bu became a domestic slave with the fourth surname. It is better to say that he was in troubled times and could not help himself. Although this person is not loyal, he can't lie about his infatuated love for Diao Chan. With such a wife and children, he is a hot bed. How could he be willing to return to that kind of wandering life? In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Lu Bu is really not very ambitious, and it seems that he has never thought about becoming the emperor himself. Then he Now that he has no worries about food and clothing, no one in Luoyang City can threaten his status. It is better to be an idle prince. Oh, I forgot to tell you that when we left Luoyang, the palace should have issued an edict. At that time, Lu Bu should have been given the title of King with a different surname by the imperial court."
Lin Biao looked at it and talked, with a plan in mind.
"My lord, I have foresight. I, Old Huo, only said it at this time. If something really happened, I'm afraid it would be too late." Huo Zhi cupped his fists and said respectfully.
"Okay, you are far worse than Lin Xu in flattering skills. Let's talk about the second thing." Lin Biao waved his hand.
"Secondly, my lord, although we have blocked the three military towns in the west so that they have no time to rush to the south to help, Master Wang and his team are attacking more with less. We don't divide our troops to help. We really have no choice. Problem?" Huo Zhi said seriously.
"Master Wang, you are thinking about this little brother Qin Feng." Lin Biao glanced at him.
Huo Zhi laughed innocently, acquiescing.
"With so many modern weapons, and Qi Zhen's peak combat power, we don't have to worry about winning or losing over there. If we still lose here, then Wang Jianguo may not have the face to come back to see me." Lin Biao said.
"But even if it's a tragic victory, after all, all our ordinary artillery are there. If too much is damaged, I'm afraid that when we attack Zhuozhou City..." Huo Zhi hesitated.
"I have my own considerations. You can tell me the third thing." Lin Biao said.
"The third thing, when do you think I can lead the troops to charge?" Huo Zhi chuckled.
"Why, your hands are itchy?" Lin Biao teased: "When the mortar shells are used up to half, I allow you to lead troops into the formation. You can bring everyone except the soldiers who control the artillery fire."
"It's your order!" Huo Zhi licked his lips excitedly.
Seeing that the friendly troops were constantly fighting with the enemy, he could no longer bear his fiery temper.
Outside the door, several rows of mortars were pointing their muzzles diagonally at the sky. Soldiers kept pouring heavy shells in, and then with a muffled bang, the shells flew diagonally towards the sky. In an instant, It turned into a small black dot and disappeared from sight.
This time, the army led by Lin Biao and Huo Zhi numbered just over 50,000. Almost all of the 50,000 people were cavalry, and the rest were Lin Biao's separate artillery.
Operating a mortar is not like an ordinary artillery piece. He handed over the operation methods to these people hand in hand.
This place is called Shilipo. Since there is a word for slope, the terrain is exactly as it sounds. It is slightly higher than where Zhuozhou City is located.
In fact, the difference is not that big. The two places are ten miles apart, and the terrain is only about 20 meters higher. But this means that from the direction of Zhuozhou City, the situation here cannot be observed at all, but from here you can clearly see the distance. The situation in those three military towns.
Being so far apart, Zhuozhou City seemed like a huge prison, and the three military towns were more like three shadows under the sun.
At this time, a large amount of thick smoke was rising from these three military towns, and many fires could occasionally be seen.
The intensity of the explosions was indeed as if Tan Ma was reporting back to Wang Jianguo, it was horrifying.
It was like countless muffled thunders sounded together, and it seemed like a huge earthquake had occurred. The area where the military town was located was actually sunk by dozens of centimeters by artillery shells.
The screams had long been covered up by the explosions, and countless black smoke covered the sky. The scene inside was a purgatory on earth, and it seemed to be two worlds separated from the outside.
Ordinary houses could not stop the power of the explosion. At this time, the military town was in a state of chaos. The surviving soldiers had despair in their eyes and did not know where to go.
Such intensive artillery fire not only causes its own lethality, but more importantly, it will bring panic to people who have never experienced it.
For the army, chaos means death.
The ordinary soldiers had not heard the orders from their superiors for a long time and had no idea how to face this unreasonable disaster that fell from the sky.
In modern warfare, telephones and radios are used as communication tools on the battlefield. If these are not available, simple combat instructions can be given by hand gestures.
But not here.
