Claudia almost didn't make any pause and immediately launched an attack on Fanlin. However, Jiama and Yulin who were just aside seemed to have no interest in the Kaman soldiers. In their minds, Fanlin is the only goal. The six corps trapped Fanlin City tightly like a roiling tide. Almost no one of the four city gates could be called a place of relaxation. The surging Kaman people were about to tear the entire Fanlin City alive. crack.
The four infantry regiments naturally acted as the vanguard of the attack. The violent charge like a sea wave almost never stopped from the beginning. Fanlin City has been repaired and reinforced many times, and it is still like this. It looked shaky under the fierce offensive.
It should be said that the Kaman people are quite well prepared this time. In terms of their siege equipment and facilities, the equipment and supplies of the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers, they have returned to the state before the defeat of the last southern invasion war. There are even However, Claudia's contribution to this point is indelible.
From ramming vehicles to high-rise arrow towers, from ramming vehicles to large ballistas, as well as a sufficient number of sliding ladders, all of them show that in the past two or three years, the Kaman people have been constantly introspecting while taking risks. and improve their own strength. It is obvious that the endless weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty have deeply impressed the Kaman people. The flexible strategies and rich offensive and defensive weapons of the Tang Dynasty in offensive and defensive methods have deeply impressed Claudia. In the past two years, the Kaman people have also imitated the Tang Dynasty's military power configuration and made a series of adjustments, and this time seems to be the best litmus test to test the effect of the adjustments.
There is no need to question the strength and courage of the Kaman warriors. After continuously improving their weapons and facilities, the Kaman people's attack power can also be comparable to any armed force on the mainland. They dared to challenge even the siege infantry of the Tang Dynasty.
Sang Sheng did not expect that the war would come so quickly, so when the war really broke out and quickly entered a white-hot state, he was still a little confused. General Kamapov went to inspect Yulin's defense, but General Kamapov had just left secretly for less than two days. The Kaman people's light cavalry poured into Jerok territory like a tide, cutting off Fanlin's connection with the outside world.
The enemy must be waiting for this opportunity, waiting for General Kamapov to leave, and taking advantage of this opportunity to capture Fanlin City in one fell swoop. Needless to say, there must be a Kaman spy in Fanlin City, and this spy is quite well hidden. Deep, being able to detect the time of General Kamapov's departure so accurately, and just in time to notify the Kamans to launch an offensive, made Sang Sheng, who had just assumed the post of deputy commander of the Fifth Army, feel chilled.
But now the situation no longer allows Sang Sheng to think about other things. As the deputy commander, in addition to two divisions of the Fifth Army and one division of the Fifteenth Army, he also has the Third Army of the former Jerok Defense Force. It was renamed from the former Jerok Guards Regiment. With more than 90,000 troops, Sang Sheng still felt a lot of confidence. Although he had not been with the Fifth Army for a long time, Sang Sheng was also an old man when he started with Wu Feng. The Fifth Army Corps is Kamapov's head unit. Many officers at the level of captain were fresh recruits from the Qingyang period at that time. They were very familiar with Sang Sheng, the first deputy commander who started his career with His Majesty the Emperor, so Sang Sheng entered the state quite quickly.
In Jiama City. Kamapov deployed one division of the Fifth Army and two Terok regiments there. In Yulin City, two divisions of the Fifth Army and two divisions of the Fifteenth Army were stationed there. The remaining Fifteenth Army The two divisions were led by Qu Bo and were stationed in Langshan Mansion as reserves. The three divisions of the Empire's 11th Army Corps were also quietly moving to the line from Langshan to Merington to strengthen the defense force on the center line. Cui Wenxiu and Mu Li Ge all realized that the center line might be the focus of the Liberians. Once the center line was breached, no matter how successful the eastern front was, it would be difficult to undo the final consequences.
It should be said that both Cui Wenxiu and Kamapov fully considered the strategy that the Kaman people might adopt, and the arrangements were considered safe and comprehensive. However, they did not expect that the Kaman people would come so fiercely and persistently, and completely gave up on the war. Violation of horses and Yulin. He didn't even bother to invest his troops in a game, and put all his troops on Fanlin City. More than 300,000 army infantry, plus 70,000 cavalry, roared towards Fanlin City, almost They want to take over this city that they once ruled in one day.
The ferocious charge of the Kaman people did make Sang Sheng and Emperor Dao a little confused at the first time. Although they also realized that the Kaman people would launch a fierce attack on Fanlin City, they did not expect that the Kaman people would launch a fierce attack on Fanlin City. People invested a regiment of 70,000 people at the gates of the four cities to attack. The 70,000 elite army launched almost non-stop offensives, allowing the unprepared emperor to be defeated almost immediately. If not The Empire's Fifteenth Legion, which was desperately reinforced by the northern troops of the former Tanghe Empire, might have Fanlin City taken back by the Kamans on the first day.
The First Division of the Fifteenth Legion of the Empire used their blood and courage to defend the honor of the Northern Warriors, and also fired the first shot for this newly established legion. Their performance made the First and Second Divisions of the Fifth Legion and As the master, the 3rd Dijie Locke Corps felt a little ashamed. They repeatedly filled the torn gap. The 1st Division of the 15th Corps almost risked their lives and even wanted to fill the entire division with a continuous momentum. Launching a counterattack, only in this way can the Kaman people realize that it is undoubtedly impossible to capture Fanlin in a short time.
The performance of the Fifteenth Army finally made the two divisions of the Fifth Army wake up from a dream. The original excellent qualities of the Fifth Army were finally displayed. Defense has always been the strength of the Fifth Army, and this Fanlin City is even more It is the focus of defense of the Fifth Army, from the thickness of the city wall to the improvement of the crenellations, from the density and angle of the wallmen's crossbows and catapults to the equipment base of gray bottles, rolling logs, and thunder stones, from the secret array of Hongtianlei. Batch test items mounted on thrown mines
Products, this is the first place to be favored. Even the Privy Council requested that the latest experimental products of the Department of Science and Technology Development be first put into Fanlin City as an experimental base, so that the most powerful Kaman among the Liberians can be used as experimental products. , to ensure that new weapons in the future can receive the most stringent verification.
After the officers of the Fifth Army regained their composure and organized a counterattack in an orderly manner, the offensive and defensive battle at the head of Fanlin City entered a relatively balanced rhythm. The posture that was almost overwhelming at the beginning finally finally After being turned around, especially after the continuous firing of Hongtianlei and the throwing fire mine were used in actual combat, the Kaman people, who had always been high-spirited, finally tasted a head-on attack that they had not seen for a long time.
When black round objects the size of watermelons soared into the sky, Claudia's expression changed a little. Although she knew that the Tang Army had made many breakthroughs in this area, due to the strict confidentiality of the Tang Dynasty in this area, many information In order to obtain more accurate intelligence information, personnel even sacrifice themselves in the hope of obtaining this information. However, Datang has adopted extremely strict measures in this kind of research that is almost like the punishment of Thunder God. Although Kaman has spent a lot of effort in this regard and achieved some results, it has to be compared with new weapons like Datang. Claudia also had to admit that the results achieved by the Kaman people through various means of stealing and doing their own research were still several levels behind the Tang Dynasty.
The black round object exploded when it hit the ground. The fire snakes scurrying around poured out its powerful power along the extension of the oil. The flying iron pieces scattered and rotated into the surrounding soldiers, whether they were Neither iron armor nor leather armor can withstand this pervasive and brutal weapon. Every time the thunderbolt, which is feared by the Kaman people and is called "Heavenly Thunder Dan", flies up, the Kaman soldiers can't help but want to lie down. Falling down or spreading out, this is originally the best way to avoid, but this phenomenon occurs frequently on the battlefield, especially on the attacking side. You can imagine how effective this offensive can be.
It was not just this watermelon-sized "Tian Lei Dan" that brought infinite fear to the Kaman people. When they braved all kinds of dangers and finally charged to the city wall, holding the sliding ladder high, they wanted to realize their dream of climbing the city. , they discovered another strange phenomenon.
Some soldiers of the Tang Army did not hold up the thunder stones and throw them downwards as usual, or they carried the rolling logs one by one and pushed them down, nor did they use swords and guns to destroy the ladder hooks stuck on the crenellations. They were careful about Li Yi. He took out steamed bun-sized balls from the sealed box next to him, lifted them out of the city wall in a hurry, and let them fall freely. The large-sized ball fell to the ground, exploded with a loud noise and black smoke, and the iron pieces and broken metal slag exploded again.
This kind of throwing thunderbolt, which was later called sweet potato bomb by the Kaman people, turned the entire city wall of Fanlin into an extremely bloody flesh and blood mill. Especially some quick-thinking people, they simply used this throwing thunderbolt directly. The sky thunder was thrown in the middle of the city wall. This sweet potato bomb with not amazing explosive power did not do much damage to the city wall, but it exploded in mid-air, and the coverage area of the flying metal fragments expanded geometrically. The losses caused to the Kaman people are even more difficult to make up for.
