Dinghai Wharf, the third line of defense.

It has almost reached the periphery of the pier, and when it comes out, there are roads extending in all directions in Huayang County and vast fields that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Once the third line of defense is breached, a large number of Japanese pirates will swarm in and spread out in all directions, making defense very difficult.

After all, Lin Hanmo is familiar with military books, so he knows how powerful it is.

When he looked up to the east, his face was still calm as usual, but the palms of his hands were already slippery.

How can this be?

He Xingzhou died in the blink of an eye, and the other soldiers panicked. The Japanese pirates took the opportunity to press forward, and the first line of defense was instantly breached.

This was indeed beyond his expectation.

As for the second line of defense, Lin Hanmo slapped his head and ordered the evacuation himself.

Dinghai Wharf is a funnel-shaped terrain, which gets narrower as it gets closer to the sea.

Most of the Central Army is cavalry, which requires a vast space for movement.

Seeing the chaos in front of him, Lin Hanmo simply ordered to retreat, preparing to retreat to the third line of defense and then set up a battle formation.

"General, it's not good." Li Qinwei ran over sweating profusely.

"The Japanese pirates brought a lot of sandbags and blocking horses. We retreated and they moved forward, and as soon as we attacked them, these obstacles were thrown to the ground and then huddled in place. They were shields and spears, forming one after another full of sharp teeth. hedgehog."

"Brothers are very unfavorable to attack."

More than disadvantage.

When the soldiers of the Central Army rode horses to the hedgehog formations of Japanese pirates, large and small, they were either stabbed to death with spears along with their horses and people, or they were directly tied to the rope by the Japanese pirates after their speed slowed down, and then they killed and seized the horses.

After repeated battles and repeated defeats, the front line suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the Central Army Corps unconsciously fell into a slump.

The soldiers in front had no choice but to come over to find countermeasures.

"Bastard." Lin Hanmo was furious, "What are you eating?"

"Didn't you train the cavalry to cut sausages and run after shooting? Why do you have to drive forward?"

"This..." Li Qinwei was very wronged.

"General, the sausage-cutting brothers naturally understand. It's just that the Japanese pirates pushed their shields and stretched out their spears, and they were as strong as a turtle. The arrows released by the brothers seemed to tickle them."

Lin Hanmo was even angrier, "Where are our heavy crossbows, trebuchets, and wooden rings..."

As he spoke, his voice lowered.

The central army's baggage was dispatched slowly. At this time, it is estimated that it has not gone half way by land or water.It will be useless for a while.

After being silent for a while, Lin Hanmo looked hesitantly at several highlands not far to the north.

There are numerous catapults and ballista groups of large and small.

"General," Li Qinwei knew what Shangfeng was thinking at a glance.

"Master Zhang has stockpiled a large amount of stones, crossbow bolts and gunpowder at the pier in advance. Whenever the Japanese pirates dare to go ashore, he will order a saturation attack, using catapults and ballistas to smash the enemy back into the sea."

"So that's how it is." Lin Hanmo suddenly realized, and his burning face felt better, "So as long as our luggage arrives, these Japanese pirates will come and go?"

Before he knew it, he was a little unconfident.

"That's right." Li Qinwei nodded in agreement.

He hesitated for a while: "General, should we ask Mr. Zhang for help?"

Forget about the anti-sea crossbow, this kind of weapon is powerful and bulky, and it is almost impossible to adjust it to 180 degrees or even [-] degrees.

But as long as Zhang Yang turns the other heavy crossbows and broken crossbows, especially the large number of trebuchets, they will hit a round between the second and third defense lines.

The Central Army Corps took the opportunity to fight back collectively, and it is estimated that the situation at the dock will be much better.

Lin Hanmo heard it harshly.

"unnecessary!"

"There is a saying in the book of war, war is about the right time, place and people."

"Our army has traveled thousands of miles from the base camp of Ruinan Mountain day and night. The soldiers are already exhausted physically and mentally, and it is understandable for them to miss for a while."

He looked coldly at the sea to the east.

"It's just the barbarians of the East, and there aren't too many enemies landing at this time. Moreover, the terrain becomes more open as we go west, which is conducive to the large-scale movement of our cavalry."

"Order, let the brothers and the horses eat and rest as soon as possible, and when they regain their energy tomorrow, they will be able to kill them all in one go and drive them all back to the sea."

Li Qinwei was convinced, "The general is right!"

In the east, Tufei and people are getting more and more excited.

"When did this group of Yunchui people come in rotation?"

It's not at the same level as the previous batch.

If it was this group of people who guarded the pier before, it is estimated that they would have enjoyed a good meal in various counties and towns in Huayang County.

No one answered.

It doesn't matter who the guards are on the opposite side, as long as you are weak on the battlefield of life and death, you will die!

It was not easy to meet an opponent who could fight well, and all the Japanese pirate soldiers were full of anger, and they were all charging forward.

At this time, the orderly arrived in a hurry.

"General, General Doi's military orders."

Doi Heren quickly took it, opened it, and then raised his head to look viciously at the small slopes to the north.

"Pass my order, the battalion-level brothers of Zhenbai, Inuyang, Shangkou, and Nada leave the battlefield immediately, and their generals will lead the attack on those high points, and must take down the catapults and ballista groups above. "

"Especially the Yunchui people's sea-defense crossbow, which we, Yamato, don't know how to make yet. So no matter how much you spend, you must grab at least one."

"Understand?"

"Understood!" Several battalion-level generals yelled in response, and turned around to dispatch troops.

Heights, watchtowers.

Zhang Yang raised his binoculars and looked around.

Soon, I saw a large number of small soldiers of the Japanese pirates turning north collectively, rushing towards their position aggressively.

"Notify, the enemy is coming, all prepare for battle!"

The news quickly spread below, and the guards raised their spirits and grabbed their weapons.

Pooh!
In a trench that had just been dug, Wu Baichang spat in disdain.

"Central Legion?"

"Shit!"

They were defending on the first line of defense. Although the casualties of the brothers around them were not low, at least they didn't make it easier for the Japanese pirates. It can even be said that they killed many enemies, even death is definitely enough.

In the end, some kind of central army came, and they were moved to rest.

It was a good thing.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, not to mention the first line of defense, even the third line of defense is already crumbling.

Without the two lines of defense in front of them, the group of catapults and ballistas on the high ground could attack the enemy safely and boldly. At this time, the soldiers approaching the mountain suddenly became dangerous.

If it weren't for the north not being surrounded by enemies, otherwise this place would become an isolated point.

But as long as the third line of defense is breached, sooner or later this place will become helpless.

"Brothers," Wu Baichang tore off his armor and slapped Chi Guo's chest, "Does anyone know what a sea-defending crossbow is?"

Haha.

There was laughter all around.

"Of course I know. That's a weapon that can threaten the Warrior class."

"Not only did I know, but I also helped move those broken crossbow arrows. Damn, just one arrow is thicker than my waist."

……

"Very good." Wu Baichang nodded, "I don't need to say more about the power of this weapon. As long as a few are set up on the shore, the generals of the Japanese pirates will not dare to approach casually, and the folks in the hometown can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Although there are many Japanese pirates in Gou Ri, they are full of shit from the general to the soldier. After fighting with us for so long, they can't even make a sea-breaking crossbow."

"Now they are divided into two groups, heading west all the way to break through the third line of defense and then break into Huayang County to kill, burn and loot. But that is the matter of the Central Army, so we don't need to pay attention to it for the time being."

"The other route is to snatch the sea defense crossbow behind us."

"Will everyone let them do what they want?"

"No!" shouted all around.

"Very good!" Wu Baichang roared and raised the red and black machete in his hand, "If we can defend the first line of defense for ten days, we can defend here for another ten days."

"Follow me, hack them to death!"
