No military fortress can have only surface buildings. In addition to surface military facilities, there will be dense cellars and tunnels under the surface. The difference is more and less.
The cellar is usually used to store some military materials, but it can be used to hide soldiers in wartime. In fact, it has the same meaning as the hidden soldier cave at the gate of each city.
The tunnel is the hub under the internal surface to prevent cutting by the enemy. Once the surface is strictly controlled, the defenders will send troops or supplies from the tunnel.
When they were selected as soldiers of the standing army, they really fought too many fortresses and fortresses. They basically knew what would happen to the construction attack. They were psychologically prepared at the beginning.
"Who brought kerosene?" Li Mi is the leader of the team, with more than 50 people in charge. Their song is responsible for cleaning up in advance. More robes are on standby outside and preventing Zhang's Liang army in other places from coming to reinforce the military fort. He just killed two with his own hands, and paoze killed four. There was no one drilling up in the hole, but there was still something inside: "hurry, take the fire oil and burn these mice."
If it's not necessary to drill into the black hole without investigation, it's completely joking about his life. Li mi doesn't need to know how much space is under the hole, let alone how many enemy troops there are, and how many can be burned with fire oil.
"Pour, pour in!" Li mi blushed with excitement and asked, "who has brought a fire fold?"
Too much experience in attacking the fort made it a habit for Han soldiers to take some strange things and carry them in leather bags with kerosene in order to burn holes that didn't know what was inside.
Li mi personally lit a leather bag and threw it into the hole. He stepped aside to let the others do their work. He also muttered: "you can't burn these bastards. Cigarettes can choke them."
There was a tacit understanding among the soldiers holding short soldiers around. They all moved away a little and let the robes with long guns surround them. Their eyes were ferocious in addition to excitement.
When the burning leather bag was thrown into the hole, it was full of roars. Too many people were shouting hysterically, so that they couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Oil, no matter what it is, as long as it burns, it will produce a lot of smoke. The smell is not only bad, but also extremely hot eyes and choking.
When the cave began to smoke out, the roar in the cave was more than hysterical. It seemed that there was something moving closer and closer to the cave. The long spearmen of the Han Army around the cave clung to the barrel of the gun and posed for a sudden stab.
"Er..."
Zhang's Liang Jun, who emerged from the cave, looked so disheartened. He came out with his eyes closed. He saw tears flowing, and his nose running crossly. He took a mouthful of fresh air and seemed to sigh happily?
Without anyone's order, the Han soldiers with long guns stabbed together. The head of the gun pierced into the body. When it didn't enter the barrel, they would work together to pick up the body and throw it aside.
Zhang Liangjun, who was stabbed to death by several long guns, didn't scream at all. At the same time, he didn't know who or how many people killed him because he closed his eyes.
One after another, people came out of the cave and were killed by the long spearmen of the Han army who had been prepared. The process was like doing business in the assembly line of the slaughterhouse
The people in the cave didn't know what was going on above. They were so smoked that they couldn't care about anything else. Earlier, they could shout to surrender, but too many people shouted indiscriminately and didn't receive the information from the Han army. Behind them, they were so smoked that they couldn't even breathe. There was no time to shout.
That's what happens on the battlefield. It's either killing or being killed. It's a slaughterhouse that kills people. It doesn't make much difference how to die. Don't blame anyone. Therefore, Li Mi, the Han Army, took the advantage to kill and do business, and didn't think it was wrong. They knew one thing very well. If these people were slaughtered, Zhang's Liang army would not be soft hearted.
The bodies that were killed and dragged aside soon piled up. The wounds pierced by the gun head kept bleeding, and the blood was dripping into red blood. It was never new on the battlefield, and there were all kinds of expressions on the dead people's faces.
Gradually, the interval between people drilling out of the hole became longer and longer. There were no more people in the back, and there was no movement inside.
"Don't let me cut the head, just use my left ear to record merit." Li mi said loudly, "Why are you clubbing in place? Hurry to cut your ears!"
There must be something for the soldiers to use as a proof of merit, but cutting off their heads was restrained in advance. That was the center, which regarded the war against Zhang Liang as a civil war. On the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, killing is killing. There is no need to be as bloody as treating an alien. It not only restricts the cutting of the head, but also strictly prohibits the killing of innocent people.
The noble sentiments such as national righteousness and kinship complex are too far away from the soldiers who fight in person. For those who rush up and don't know whether they can go back alive, they can kill the enemy soldiers as much as possible, and their achievements can be recorded in the end. That's the most important thing.
Li Mi's team is only a microcosm of the battle scene.
The Han army who entered the military fort area relied on sufficient experience and knew what would happen early. As soon as they entered, they would survey the ground and find the entrance and exit of the underground cave. If the enemy didn't come out, they would force them in various ways. Anyway, they wouldn't rush into it.
"I found the tunnel entrance connecting the main city!"
A burst of shouting attracted Li Mi's attention. He didn't see who was around. He ordered: "you, you, you... Stay at the entrance of the cave, wait for someone to see the situation inside.", Then he shouted, "the rest of you come with me!"
A few soldiers left behind by the nod looked at each other a little and grinned.
In a large area of ruins, the figure of Han soldiers can be seen everywhere. Most of them look like idle cats in place. There are definitely some dead bodies of Zhang's Liang army beside a small group of people. Only a few people are doing arrow and stone bullet recycling.
Li mi originally wanted to go to the entrance and exit of the so-called main city tunnel, but on the way, he was caught by a military marquis.
"What do you want?" Zhang Si looked up and down at this wave of dirty and bloodstained people on most people: "whose subordinates do what?"
Li mi also knew who Zhang Si was. He didn't have any opinion about a military Marquis who didn't know him. When he said his own serial number, he wondered how there were other military marquis in addition to his own song.
"What you should do has been done. The rest is ours." Zhang Si pointed to the stone bullets collected not far away: "stay numb and take people to get those stone bullets back."
Li Mi's lips moved. Zhang Si was the Marquis of the army. Yes, he wasn't his immediate boss. He was not qualified to give orders to them. But the senior official crushed people. He thought that the robes of the same song were cats in place. He could probably guess what the situation was, so he honestly thought about the pile of stone bullets and walked over.
"Go to a few people and find the village chief..." Li mi wiped his face, paused and continued with a sullen voice: "it's OK to find other teams and ask what we don't know."
Just now, their team was covered by a ruin. They patronized the enemy and didn't pay much attention to who shouted what.
"The stone bullet is too heavy. There's nothing to do except push it back!" Quan Qi, who was very worried, patted a stone bullet: "why don't you run back first and ask for a carriage from the equipment army?"
Li mi nodded at will. Even if it was a response, he was still waiting for the people who had just dispersed to bring back the news.
The scattered subordinates didn't let Li mi wait too long. The news they brought back was very simple. They really completed their responsibilities in this song, and the order given by their immediate boss was to stand by on the spot.
[since we are on standby, we won't transport any stone bullets.] Li mi glanced at Zhang si not far away and watched the robes of different songs gather more and more here: [it's also the matter of county soldiers to transport stone bullets. We just kill people, bury people, and care about stone bullets.]
If you think so, you should pretend to transport stone bullets. You can't stop. Such a move has something to do with whether it is a soldier or not. It is more about a certain dignity belonging to a soldier. After all, different organizations can't listen to orders at will. It's really not a chore to fight again.
Zhang Si, who was not far away, was not blind enough to see that Li Mi and others were pretending. He even saved pretending behind, but he didn't get angry or do anything. He will be like this. Li Mi's team is too ignorant. The attack echelons have been handed over. What does it mean to run to the battlefield? Look down on people and think they can't fight, or are you in a hurry to get credit? Paoze belongs to paoze. That's not how it works!
Just now, when the army fort was cleared, the loss of the Han army was minimal. There should be three or four hundred Zhang's Liang army who climbed out of various holes. How could there be only 300 or 400 people in such a big military fort?
Zhang Si didn't decide to hand over the attack echelon by himself. In the final analysis, a military Marquis has very limited control over the battlefield. Even a school captain has to listen to the instructions above.
The purge of the military fort continued, and the blindfolded Zhang's Liang army did not completely give up resistance. The previous counterattack was just a rush without organization and coordination.
"The ground was full of Han troops, and many of our brothers hiding in the cellar were forced out." The castle master and Suofu retreated to the tunnel connecting the main city, smelling the turbid air, and their skin could feel wet: "when will they launch a counterattack?"
"Wait." Suofu told himself that he must be patient. The Han Army had just entered the military fort. It was the time of the highest vigilance. Now it can't take any advantage of going out, let alone recapture the surface of the general Fort: "block the tunnel exit first and don't let them fill in smoke."
The main tunnel of the military fort must be placed at the core. Without effective resistance on the ground, the Han Army easily broke into the core area of the military fort. It was only a matter of time before the tunnel was found. Suofu didn't expect that the Han army would find the entrance and exit so soon.
"There are also small tunnels with twists and turns in the main tunnel. If the enemy rushes in, you can let go of the entrance and exit." Suofu doesn't want to stay here anymore. Next is the pit fight. He can't play many roles: "I'm going to go back to the city to ask the prefect for instructions. You will preside over the battle."
The chief General of the military fort answered the "promise", did not complain, nor did he think it was wrong. Everyone has his own responsibility.
Suofu returned to the main city and soon met Zhang Chong at the city tower. He went up to the city building and looked out. The fort he had just stayed in was full of figures of the Han Army, but there was no shadow of the siege equipment such as stone throwing vehicles.
"They're going to attack the next Acropolis." Zhang Chong's face was full of haze: "for example, before night falls, another Acropolis may not be able to maintain surface fortifications."
Sofu said shamefully, "I have failed to live up to the trust of the prefect."
"It's none of your business." Zhang Chong said clearly: "the Han army is powerful, and the siege equipment can not be carried by the Acropolis alone. As long as there are soldiers hidden underground, the role of the Acropolis will not be lost."
"When the Han Army found the tunnel, they just surrounded the envoy and tried their best to force him. They didn't attack immediately." Sofu shouldn't have opened his mouth, but he couldn't help saying, "do we... Sit and watch the Acropolis be pulled out one by one?"
Zhang Chong was silent. He wanted to send a large army to fight with the Han Army, but it was not so simple. Most of the Han army came from cavalry and a large number of bow and crossbow troops. The field battle was not cost-effective for the Jincheng garrison.
"At the end of the day, you can lead the headquarters out at night..." Suofu's request was rejected, and only a big sigh: "Alas!"
The Acropolis outside the main city is built to support the main city. Under conventional warfare, the Acropolis can persist for a long time. Even if the enemy attacks, it will pay a lot of casualties in the end. However, this is based on the fact that the incoming enemy does not have an exaggerated number of long-range attack equipment. In the face of the practice of bringing a large number of stone throwing vehicles by the Han Army, the effect of surface fortification is not great.
When Zhang Chong arranged the defense line, he had long considered that the Han army might bring a large number of siege equipment. Only then could he dig so many tunnels under the surface. After the fortifications on the surface were finished, he could also rely on the tunnels to drag the Han Army or make trouble for the Han army from the tunnels!
"Jincheng is more important than Mount Tai." Zhang Chong smiled, turned to Suofu and continued, "our responsibility is to guard Jincheng. How can we defeat or repel the enemy? The general must have a narrow mind?"
Across the Yellow River, Jinxing county and Guangwu county have been gathering troops, and the Jincheng Garrison has long been notified. They also know that Zhang Zuo must lead the army to stabilize the overall situation in the central government, so Jincheng is important. The major event that will really determine the national movement is that Zhang Zuo wants to do it himself.
