I’m The King

Chapter 1476 : The last battle of Hanqi Tianxia (one

Shannan County was established by the State of Qin. After King Qin Wulie defeated the Huns on the grassland and annihilated the court of the Huns in one fell swoop, the Huns on the grasslands became a piece of scattered sand. At that time, the Qin people were unwilling to concentrate their power on the Central Plains Entangling with the Huns on the vast prairie, the Shannan County was established, and a force was stationed here to monitor the grasslands. One was to prevent the Huns from harassing the northern part of Qin again, and the other was to prevent the Huns from again. Sit big means.

The Qin people’s strategic abandonment of the prairie now seems to be extremely wrong, because it gave Gaoyuan the best opportunity to embezzle and cannibalize the Huns in Jishi city at that time. As a result, Gaoyuan spent several years. Over time, the Huns were integrated under the banner of the Zhengdong Army, which made the Zhengdong Army’s strength soaring and firmly controlled the grassland.

Later, in order to compete for Shannan County, Gaoyuan and Qin people [^^^][www].[zhu][].[] broke out many conflicts, Shannan County also changed hands several times, and both parties lost here. After the invasion of Li Xin and Wang Xiao, the Qin army rejoined the ruler. This time, the Qin people stationed heavy troops here to reinforce the city wall, and the Han army was already strong at this time. It was hard to shake. Although the Qin people occupied Shannan County, they could no longer pose a big threat to the Han, and the Han army did not send troops to fight again.

But when Dahan eliminated all the countries on this continent except Qin, when the front of the army again pointed to Qin, Shannan County became the focus of the competition again.

Taking down Shannan County opened the door to the northern part of Qin, and the Han army could attack Qin from both the north and the south. When the importance of Shannan County was once again highlighted, the Qin people discovered that they simply did not have enough strength to reinforce Shannan County.

When Wang Changyong left the pass, he took away half of the garrison in Shannan County and never returned. Now that more than 10,000 people have to defend Shannan County, it must be said that it is a very heavy task.

These few years. With the strong rise of Han, Qin repeatedly failed on the battlefield, and the county town of Shannan County was strengthened and heightened again and again. Every time the Qin people lost a battle, Shannan County would undergo a large-scale upgrade. Refurbishment. Shannan County is now quite different from when Lu Chao was guarded here.

From the original adobe mud wall to the blue brick wall, the exterior wall rebuilt with reinforced concrete now covers the city of Shannan County with a thick solid shell. Even the artillery of the Han army is just Hit shallow pits on it. Without being able to drill through, he collapsed his thick walls.

However, the walls are strong enough, but the buildings above the city wall are not as reliable as this. Cannonballs fell on the city wall, destroying the upper city tower, blasting down the Tibetan soldiers cave, overturning a bed of crossbows, and igniting it. After numerous beatings, he blew up piles of stones that were originally intended to be used to smash the enemy when the Han army attacked the city. The fire was raging above the city wall, and there was a sound of wailing.

This is the first time that Fan Zhang, the governor of Shannan County, has been attacked by so many artillery. If it weren’t for his quick hands and feet, the highest officer of Shannan County was in the first wave of bombing. They will be buried along with the collapsed tower, thus becoming the fastest defensive officer in history.

After several rounds of bombing, the highly nervous officers and soldiers of Shannan Juncheng found that there was no follow-up, and the Han army did not let their infantry attack at this moment. It seems that they are not yet ready to attack the city.

This gave Fan Zhang a sigh of relief. After the shelling ceased, he began to organize a manpower to clean up a mess of the city. Most of the defensive facilities above the city wall were destroyed, and there were broken walls everywhere. The wounded soldiers lay in the ruins and wailed and wailed, and among the ruins, one could see their lives lost in this round of artillery attacks. Remains of the soldier.

The only thing that made Fan Zhang happy was that the main city wall of Shannan County still stood proudly under the attack of artillery fire, and did not suffer much damage.

Outside the city, He Lanxiong was summoning the commander of his engineering unit and the commander of the artillery battalion.

“Commander, based on the bombardment by the artillery just now, we can judge that the outer body of the main wall of Shannan County City is a whole made of reinforced concrete structure. The strength is extremely high. With our current artillery, it cannot cause too much damage. Damage, and using engineers to destroy the wall is even more impossible. It can’t be digged at all, and the counterattack of the enemy in the city must be used to destroy the wall. This is completely outweighed by the gains.”

“Then what can the engineers do for me?” He Lanxiong frowned and asked.

“Commander, we can only build larger and stronger siege towers, ladders and other things for you, and take down Shannan County. I am afraid that we will have to rely on the infantry in the end.” The engineer commander was a little embarrassed and said: ” We can provide enough siege tower vehicles for infantry. It’s close to Mount Holland, where the wood is inexhaustible, and we can continuously build siege equipment.”

“Can’t you build a siege plank road vehicle?”

The engineer commander shook his head: “Commander, the height of Shannan County is too high and the angle is too large. It is difficult for the cavalry to launch a charge on it. Even if it is built, the defenders can easily defend against the wall. The steep angle caused a lot of damage to our cavalry.”

“I, I know, you go down, as you said, build more siege towers for our soldiers. Remember, the stronger you build, our soldiers will have fewer casualties, and your engineers will exist. This is the meaning of it.”

“I will do my best in the end!” The engineer commander bowed back.

He Lanxiong turned his gaze to the artillery commander: “Does the artillery really blow this **** wall?”

“Yes.” The artillery commander nodded and said, “The entire outer wall of Shannan County City is a whole. The reinforced concrete structure gives it extremely strong resistance to destruction. Constructed as a whole, and thick enough, solid bullets can hardly cause too much damage to him. Commander, I suggest that the next main task of the artillery is to cause damage to the defending Qin army. Provide for the infantry to attack the city. Gunfire cover.”

“From now on, artillery can attack the county city anytime and anywhere, with the purpose of destroying and killing.” He Lanxiong stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the big tent. “Kill the enemy and destroy the enemy’s defense facilities to the greatest extent possible. The courage and will to destroy the enemy. Make them feel irresistible.”

“At the end I will understand.”

“Don’t worry about the loss of shells. Now the whole army that is still fighting is our family, and the rest are being repaired. The logistics materials will meet the supply, I am afraid that you will not be able to consume them.” He Lanxiong smiled and said, “This is also you. There is a good opportunity to train your artillery. The artillery of our third military region cannot be compared with the first and second military region. There are fewer opportunities for actual combat. In this battle, let your artillery train your artillery well, and you will be able to show off their skills next year.”

“Yes!” The artillery commander was overjoyed. As far as he is concerned, there is no better news. The artillery’s artillery fires accurately. If you don’t practice it, it’s just a fake handle. A good gunner and an experienced gunner are all fed by cannonballs. It came out that the Third Military Region is not the main theater, and there are really few opportunities for live artillery exercises. Now it’s the only good opportunity to practice with battle, no worries about ammunition.

The artillery commander left with joy. He Lanjie walked in quickly. “Commander, the tortoise shell in this Shannan County Town is really hard.”

“It’s hard enough. Since we can’t break the tortoise shell, we can only cut the head directly.” He Lanxiong smiled and said, “Ajie, lead your troops to build a snow platform for me. The distance, you should be very clear, right? ”

“Snowboard? High-level skiing?” He Lanjie was startled, and suddenly understood. “Are you going to fly over?”

“Climbing on the ground, flying in the sky, I still don’t believe that Shannan County is really solid.” He Lanxiong sneered. “The characteristics of our Third Military Region, this battle can be fought.”

The sound of artillery rumbling, sounded from time to time every day, the Qin army above the tower did not have any sense of security and a relatively safe time point, because the shelling below was completely irregular. The sporadic shelling has never stopped, and occasionally there will be a salvo of hundreds of artillery. Finally, some of the defensive facilities that were just constructed were destroyed time after time during such shelling. Even worse, the soldiers on the wall found that the opponent’s artillery fired more and more accurately. The sporadic artillery fired at first, often the artillery fired so badly. Apart from the sound, it did not have much lethality, but after three days passed, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, I don’t know how many bombings the Qin Army had suffered, and found that the sporadic shelling had started to become scary.

This made the soldiers of the Qin Army feel heartbroken. They bothered to carry the sand cannons one by one on the city wall. Just after the basement was built, a few shells flew, and they were blown up. If one is not good, they have to take a few lives. , In that case, let’s put up a fart! The soldiers didn’t want to show up on the wall anymore. They would rather stay under the city. Anyway, the Han army didn’t intend to rush to attack the city. No one wanted to climb on the wall and die in vain.

What made Fan Zhang more anxious was that there were more and more Han siege vehicles appearing outside the city. In three days, there were more than 100 such siege vehicles. The height of these siege towers was level with the city wall, and once they were allowed to lean against the city wall, the consequences would be disastrous. What made him even more puzzled was that the Han army used snow to build high platforms outside the city. Seeing that those high platforms are getting higher and higher day by day, they have far exceeded the height of the city wall, and behind these high platforms, a long length was built. Ramp. Because of the continuous shelling by the Han army, the city did not have enough countermeasures to counterattack, and even watched these ski platforms being repaired little by little to a place only more than 100 meters away from the city wall.

This can’t go on, and if you continue like this, the Han army won’t have to fight, and the Qin army will collapse under such pressure.

Fan Zhang decided to fight a battle first to boost his morale. (To be continued.)
